Bøker av Janet Enever

Janet Enever explores the complex forces that shape nationaland local language education policymaking for the earlyintroduction of English as a foreign language at primary andpre-primary levels worldwide. This is the first book of itskind demonstrating the extent to which English is nowperceived as a prerequisite for participation in the globaleconomy, reflecting the rapid development of early startEnglish now exploding across Asia, Latin America, and otherfast-growing economies. "e;This is a timely and important book. Professor Eneverdemonstrates comprehensive knowledge of primary Englishpolicy and practice in a range of countries and, from a soundtheoretical framework, draws together evidence to showhow policies are all too often guided by short-term politicalconsiderations rather than sound educational practice. Whilst critiquing inappropriate practice, she also analysesthe conditions which have the potential to lead to quality -and equitable - English language programmes at theprimary level."e;David Hayes, Department of Applied Linguistics,Brock University, Canada
