As part of a long series of Vietnam's policy objectives, English
education has been identified as key to improving the quality of
its rapidly expanding tertiary institutions and is crucial to the
larger aim of modernising and internationalising its economy.
Bringing together a wide range of Vietnamese and foreign English
education scholars, and tertiary educational practitioners, this
book documents the significant progress and challenges in the
realisation of Vietnam's English language policies as they are
enacted in the higher education sector. Changes to Vietnam's higher
education system remain unstable, unsystematic, and insubstantial.
This book provides insights into how recent Vietnamese government
policy is providing for a substantial and comprehensive renewal of
Vietnam's tertiary education as part of their 2020 plan. Academics
and students of English education, language policy, and nation
building within the context of increased globalisation and
marketisation in developing nations and Vietnam, in particular,
should find this book valuable.
This book, drawing on a political economic perspective of education
development, is a comprehensive account of the question "why some
education systems flourish while others falter." It provides a
state-of-the-art review of the Vietnamese way of education
development, figuring out the pitfalls, challenges and
opportunities of neoliberal reform. It also sheds new light on the
rise of neoliberal capitalism in contemporary Vietnam as the
country intensifies its market-oriented economic transition.
Starting from educational development concerns, this book
differentiates the growth and development concepts in education.
While "growth with limited development" is well reflected in many
developing education systems, the Vietnamese experience of
education development stands to provide readers with unique
insights about education in developing economies, especially in
understanding how a socialist-oriented education system is
struggling to thrive in the times of neoliberal capitalism.
Authored by scholars specialising in Vietnamese education and
politics, the chapters address key issues pertaining to the
political economy of education reform in Vietnam and the
government's enduring efforts to drive education toward
international standards through its costly market-infused education
reforms. This book will appeal to postgraduate students, educators,
educational policy-makers and scholars interested in Vietnamese
studies, Vietnam education reforms, education governance, education
for sustainability, internationalisation of education and the
politics of education reforms.
In this volume scholars from around the world focus on how a
Bourdieusian stance can enable a powerful socicultural and cultural
analysis of literacy education theory and practice and serve as an
effective tool in analyzing relations of hierarchy and domination.
Although there has been a growing body of Bourdieusian-inspired
research in various sectors of education, this book is the first to
present both theoretical and practical articulation of his ideas in
the field of literacy education. It brings together three major
clusters of work:
- Rethinking of the doxa of the social fields of language and
literacy education
- Explorations of alternative objectifications of educational
fields forming around cultural and linguistic minorities, new media
and technologies
- Studies on the formation of the literate habitus in homes and
classrooms, curriculum and schooling, and addresses theoretical,
policy and practical directions
Pierre Bourdieu and Literacy Education is intended for
researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in literacy
education, sociology of education, and curriculum theory, and as a
text for advanced courses in these areas.
Highlighting the conceptual work at the heart of Pierre Bourdieu's
reflexive sociology, this cutting edge collection operationalizes
Bourdieusian concepts in field analysis. Offering a unique range of
explorations and reflections utilizing field analysis, the eighteen
chapters by prominent Bourdieusian scholars and early career
scholars synthesize key insights and challenges scholars face when
going 'beyond the fields we know'. The chapters offer examples from
discipline contexts as diverse as cultural studies, poetry, welfare
systems, water management, education, journalism and surfing and
provide demonstrations of theorizing within practical examples of
field analysis. One of the foremost social philosophers and
sociologists of the twentieth century, Bourdieu is widely known in
cultural studies and education and his approaches are increasingly
being taken up in health, social work, anthropology, family
studies, journalism, communication studies and other disciplines
where an analysis of the interplay between individuals and social
structures is relevant. With its unique interdisciplinary focus,
this book provides a useful guide to doing field analysis and
working with Bourdieusian methods research, as well as key reading
for methodology courses at post-graduate level.
