“This collection explores 11 English language education policies (ELEPs) involving 13 contexts from five continents and evaluates them in respect to their intended de jure goals across multiple layers of contextual realities. … For those interested in contemporary ELEPs, the book offers so much by examining the ‘understudied ELT contexts’ with a wide range of political, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds with policy-makers and implementing partners having mismatched perspectives and orientations.” (Muhammad Kamal Khan, Language Policy, Vol. 23 (2), 2024)
