This book examines the ‘English mania phenomenon’ and the
complex circumstances of adopting English Medium Instruction (EMI)
by South Asian education systems and the effect of an uneven
distribution of resources on the already under-resourced countries
in the region. Chapters explore linguistic, social, and economic
injustices by using an analytic-critical approach to examinations
of the place, role, provisions, and practices of EMI in specific
English language teaching (ELT) contexts. The book consequently
advocates for the wholescale reform of a system, which, the authors
argue, is unjust. Ultimately, the book explores socio-cultural,
poststructuralist, and English linguistic imperialism theories to
contribute a South Asian perspective on the controversy surrounding
EMI and examine its role within a wider global discourse on equity
and social justice. Critically examining the spread of English in
South Asia, this book will be of relevance to researchers,
scholars, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics,
language education, TESOL, and sociolinguistics.
