Language Acts and Worldmaking
Inhalt
Written by researchers with real-life experience working with languages, Language Acts and Worldmaking acknowledges the history and current realities of language teaching and learning. It boldly suggests ways forward for reform and policy, setting languages at the heart of a consciously transformative set of goals. The book encourages engagement with leading practitioners and researchers to stimulate readers’ curiosity about how the languages we use affect how we think and feel about ourselves, other people, and the world around us.
