Capital, Commodity, and English Language Teaching illustrates how
the drive for profit in commercial ELT affects the manner in which
language is taught. The book looks at education as a form of
production, and asks how lessons are produced, and how the
production of profit in addition to the production of the lesson
affects the operation of educational institutions and their
stakeholders. Simpson delivers a theoretically rigorous conception
of capital and builds from this an investigation into how the
circulation of capital for profit interrelates with the teaching of
language. Simpson discusses ELT at both a global level, in
discussion of the ELT industry in the UK, the US, Ireland, Canada,
Japan, Spain, and transnationally online, as well as at a more
local level, where finer detailed descriptions of the work-lives of
those within the Japanese eikaiwa ELT industry are given. Drawing
on a synthesis of Marxist and Bourdieusian theory, the book
outlines a dialectical approach to understanding capital, and to
understanding how the drive for profit and language education
interrelate with one another. Simpson concludes by showing how such
an approach might open up areas for further research in a number of
contexts across the globe, as well as in light of the Covid-19
pandemic. Providing a model for addressing global issues of ELT,
this book is of interest to advanced students, scholars and
professionals within applied linguistics, TESOL, sociolinguistics,
and linguistic anthropology, language economics and related areas.
