“The Middle East and North Africa, torn though it remains by political problems, and made of nations that generally support a national language (Arabic, Turkish, Persian or Hebrew) has responded to globalization by innovative programs in teaching English. This pioneering collection provides a fine picture of this important development and offers many lessons to other regions.” (Bernard Spolsky, Professor Emeritus, Bar-Ilan University, Israel)
