This book considers the importance of language education in a
rapidly changing world. The authors look at language education from
different perspectives: the teaching and learning of foreign or
second languages; the role of literacy, oracy and language across
the curriculum; the part played by different stakeholders in
educational policy; and the current state of language teacher
education and the ways in which language is addressed in the
education of teachers of all subjects. Drawing on their extensive
experience of language education, and on case studies and data from
around the world, the authors consider how a different approach to
language in education might help students to develop the language
awareness and linguistic and communicative competences they need in
order to participate fully and confidently in our increasingly
diverse societies.
This textbook aims to raise teachers' language awareness, to
emphasise the importance of language and communication in enabling
young people to reach their potential, and to develop their
knowledge of how language and communication function in educational
environments as well as outside. Laid out in a clear five-unit
structure, and complemented by a range of classroom activities,
reflective exercises, and case study examples from around the
world, this book addresses the need for teachers to become more
linguistically aware and sensitive in an accessible and
reader-friendly way. It is an essential resource for pre-service
and in-service teachers working with a range of age groups across
the curriculum.
