Produktbeschreibung
This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore wide-ranging topics from applied linguistics, education, sociology, political science, and cultural studies. It presents a comprehensive overview of English language education since its importation to Nepal.

This volume covers English language education (ELE) politics and policy, theories and pedagogies, English as a medium of instruction, English teachers' professional development, multilingualism and linguistic ecology, perspectives on equity, diversity and inclusion, as well as ELT and technology. Comprising scholarly discussions on emerging ELE issues in contemporary Nepal, the chapters explore various aspects of theoretical, and pedagogical considerations of ELE. While delving into the growing future of English in Nepal, it also presents analytical case studies of its controversial present and past practices. It sheds light on its development, shifting paradigms and present state of affairs, as well as the status of English in conjunction with the national language, Nepali and other Indigenous languages.

This book will be useful to students, researchers and teachers of education, linguistics, and teacher training institutions. It will be an essential read for those involved in English language education, applied linguistics, EIL/WE/ELF, ESL/TESOL/ELT and TEFL, as well as for teachers, teacher educators, teacher trainees and international aid organisations.
