"This book addresses social and political issues in English language education in diverse international locations. Central to this discussion is the balance of power in classroom and curriculum settings, the relationship between language, culture, and discourse, and the change in the ownership of English. This book is about the worlds and conflicts of TESOL educators and researchers whose professional lives are both enriched and problematized by the cultural and political interfaces created by working with an international language. There is particular focus on the injustices created by the native-speakerist desire to change the cultures of non-native speaker students and teachers, and there are suggestions on how to overcome these issues."--BOOK JACKET.
