This comprehensive book delves into the phenomenon of English mania and the intricate dynamics of adopting English Medium Instruction (EMI) in South Asian education systems. It explores the complex interplay of factors that drive this transition, including linguistic, social, and economic injustices. Through an analytical-critical approach, the chapters examine the place, role, provisions, and practices of EMI in specific English language teaching (ELT) contexts, shedding light on the underlying linguistic, social, and economic inequalities. The authors argue for a comprehensive reform of the EMI system, deeming it unjust. Furthermore, the book delves into socio-cultural, poststructuralist, and English linguistic imperialism theories to provide a South Asian perspective on the controversy surrounding EMI and its role within a broader global discourse on equity and social justice.
This book is of immense relevance to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics, language education, TESOL, and sociolinguistics. It offers valuable insights into the complexities of language acquisition, language policy, and the impact of globalization on education. By examining the experiences of South Asian countries, the book contributes to a broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by learners and educators in diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.
Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of language, power, and education in the globalized world. It provides a critical analysis of the English mania phenomenon and offers practical solutions for promoting equity and social justice in language education.
