This book focuses on private tutoring (sometimes also known as
“shadow education”), an important but neglected topic in
applied linguistics and language education research. Private
tutoring has become a popular out-of-school learning activity
worldwide. While its scope and definition are expanding, private
tutoring commonly refers to the “paid service students used to
supplement their learning of academic subjects at school outside
school hours” (Yung, 2019). Around the world, English
language is one of the most popularly enrolled subjects in private
tutoring, including both English as a first language and English as
an additional language (EAL). Despite its popularity and
implications for theories, practices, and policies, research on
English private tutoring is still in its infancy. This book aims to
provide an international perspective on the interface between
applied linguistics and comparative education and open up an agenda
for discussion in theories, practices, and policies in English
language teaching (ELT). It will be of interest to students,
scholars, and policy-makers in these and related areas.
