Download or read book English - A Changing Medium for Education written by Constant Leung and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume a range of authors from different international contexts argue that the notion of communicative competence in English, hitherto largely referenced to metropolitan native-speaker norms, has to be expanded to take account of diverse contexts of use for a variety of purposes. It also discusses the popular belief that language and literacy should simply be regarded as a technical 'skill' which confers universal benefits and that it should be replaced with a social practice view that recognises situated variations and diversity. This volume, we believe, provides a reference point for extended research and practice in these areas that will be of interest to wide range of people engaged in language and literacy education.
