This collection is unique in bringing together key thinkers on
language and literature to discuss the future of English in Asia.
Many of the contributors are themselves responsible for important
sub-genres in English linguistics and literary studies and this
collection gives them the opportunity to respond to each other
directly. The different chapters also respond to different
contemporary debates and emerging trends and discourses that are
hugely important for the future of English language teaching in
schools across Asia. This volume is also ground-breaking in
bringing English literary studies and Applied English Linguistics
together in the contemporary Asian context. The Future of English
in Asia includes studies on the following subject areas: Cultural
Translation in World Englishes, Multilingual Education, English
Futures and the function of Literature, English Literary Studies in
Japan, and English and Social Media in Asia. Well into this
century, it appears that it is still very difficult to know what to
expect when it comes to the future of English. The future of
English will continue to be determined by complex local contexts.
As it has in other parts of the world, the future of English in
Asia will continue to rely on the proliferation of its
transformations as much as its hegemonic status. This volume
reflects the widespread acknowledgement that whatever future
English has will inevitably be shaped by its fate in Asia. The
collection will be a welcome resource for scholars and students of
English linguistics, English literary studies, and topics related
to the teaching of English in Asia.
