Language has too often been studied in isolation from the social
and political conditions in which it is used. The late David
Corson, the General Editor of the first edition of the Encyclopedia
of Language and Education, held the position that an acute
understanding of theory was a necessary prerequisite for action,
not an alternative to it, especially if one were hoping to change
policies for the better. The contributions in this volume
acknowledge the centrality of the politics of language,
highlighting the importance of the social and political contexts of
language policy and language education. This is one of ten volumes
of the Encyclopedia of Language and Education. The Encyclopedia
bears testimony to the dynamism and evolution of the language and
education field, as it confronts the ever-burgeoning and
irrepressible linguistic diversity and ongoing pressures and
expectations placed on education around the world.
