Language Education in a Changing World

Reviews / Votes

Bolitho and Rossner should be congratulated on this well-structured and clearly presented book which showcases the key concepts in language teacher education and will benefit researchers, teachers and students in language education. * Lawrence Jun Zhang, University of Auckland, New Zealand * There are many books about language, some of which are informative about the origins, purposes, development and significance of language. Bolitho and Rossner have written such a book and should be congratulated on its scholarship and wisdom and, in particular, on its narrative verve and its unusual power to stimulate thought and action. * Brian Tomlinson, Anaheim University, USA * This timely book provides a comprehensive guide to exploring the critical role that language education plays in today's world as well as its potential to transversally enhance curricula across educational sectors. The chapters chart key milestones in the development of language education from the perspective of a wide range of stakeholders with illustrative examples spanning several continents. A must-read for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, policymakers and anyone involved in language studies advocacy. * Adriana Diaz, The University of Queensland, Australia * This title is a brilliant source of reflection and practical examples for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and the ones in leadership positions at schools. It shines a light upon different perspectives in English teaching and learning and the impact of languages on the educational process as a whole. -- Akemi Iwasa * New Routes, 2021 * "Language Education in a Changing World" proves a rewardingly informative read and a comprehensive guide to relevant developments in and implications of language education at a time when it may be easier than ever for senior teachers and policy makers to lose sight of the road ahead. -- Ovidiu Leonte, Colegiul Na?ional Mihai Eminescu, Romania * RATE, 2021 * [This book] is a brilliant source of reflection and practical examples for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and the ones in leadership positions at schools. It shines a light upon different perspectives in English teaching and learning and the impact of languages on the educational process as a whole. -- Akemi Iwasa, Academic Consultant, Troika, Brazil * Disal/New Routes # 74 - May 2021 * I recommend this book as an integrated manifesto for positive educational change. At the same time, each chapter can stand alone as a digestible introduction to a part of language education to different audiences. * John Knagg, TransformELT, ELT Journal vol. 77/3, 2023 *
