In this collection of real-life, personal narratives on the theme
of language and globalization, scholars from a range of different
sub-disciplines of linguistics, time periods, and geographical
spaces throughout the world examine the interaction and
intersectionality of languages and globalization and the
implications of such interactions for world languages and cultures.
A feature of the book is the application of autoethnography as its
underlying approach/method, in which contributors draw on their own
lived experiences (of life, scholarship, and work) to investigate
and reflect on linguistic globalization and its issues and
challenges against the backdrop of the globalized world of the 21st
century.

This book is both a collection of cutting-edge research in the
areas of multilingualism, translanguaging and bilingual education
by leading scholars in these fields, and a tribute to the research
and influence of Ofelia Garcia. The chapters use a variety of
methodological approaches and research designs to address topics
across language policy, sociology of language and bilingual
education, representing the full breadth of Ofelia Garcia's
scholarship. Combined with the empirical chapters are more personal
chapters which testify to the contributions Ofelia has made as a
mentor, colleague and friend. The book recognizes Ofelia Garcia's
place at the centre of a movement to remake multilingualism in the
service of linguistic equality, justice, pluralism, diversity and
inclusion in schools and societies worldwide.

This book unravels the story of English, the language of 'the
enemies', in post-revolutionary Iran. Drawing on diverse
qualitative and quantitative fieldwork data, it examines the
nation's English at the two levels of policy and practice to
determine the politics, causes, and agents of the two diverging
trends of indigenization/localization and
internationalization/Anglo-Americanization within Iran's English
education. Situating English in the nation's broader social,
political, economic, and historical contexts, the volume explores
the intersection of the nation's English education with variables
such as power, economy, policy, ideology, and information
technology over the past three decades. The multidisciplinary
insights of the book will be of value to scholars of global
English, education policies and reforms and language policy as well
as those who are specifically concerned with education in Iran.
