In South Asia, English is the major link language for
people from diverse linguistic backgrounds. With
globalisation and the subsequent rise in the demand of
English, almost all South Asian countries are in the
process of introducing English at the early school level.
This widens the scope of investigating into the national
policies regarding English and probing the status of
English language in relation to pedagogy in the
countries of the South Asian region.
English Language Education in South Asia provides a
strong foundation for scholarly work on ELE in South
Asia. The volume contains compilation of scholarly and
investigative essays, especially written for this
volume, by some of the most prominent and emerging
scholars of English language education in South Asia.
The chapters provide up-to-date information on the
politics, policy, theory and practice of ELE in seven
countries of South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The
volume, divided into three sections - Policy, Pedagogy
and Politics of Pedagogy - investigates how the socioeconomic,
local and global language politics shape the
ELE in South Asia. It also addresses the theoretical as
well as practical issues of classroom procedures,
teacher preparation programmes, resource
management, examinations, educational constraints
and limitations.isbn-9788175967809
