Using the metaphor of the Hydra monster from ancient Greek mythology, it explores the use and misuse of English in a wide range of contexts, revealing how the dominance of English is being confronted and counteracted around the globe. The authors explore the language policy challenges for governments and education systems at all levels, and show how changing the role of English can lead to greater success in education for a larger proportion of children. Through personal accounts, poems, essays and case studies, the book calls for greater efforts to ensure the maintenance of the world's linguistic and cultural diversity. 650 0 $a Languages in contact. 650 0 $a English language $z Foreign countries. 650 0 $a English language $x Influence on foreign languages. 650 0 $a English language $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a English language $x Social aspects. 650 6 $a Langues en contact. 650 6 $a Anglais (Langue) $z Pays eÌtrangers. 650 6 $a Anglais (Langue) $x Influence sur les autres langues. 650 7 $a 17.50 grammar. $2 bcl 650 7 $a English language $x Foreign countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01906957 650 7 $a English language $x Influence on foreign languages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911318 650 7 $a English language $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911524 650 7 $a English language $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911649 650 7 $a Languages in contact. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992434 650 7 $a 17.50 grammar. $2 nbc 700 1 $a Bunce, Pauline, $e editor. 700 1 $a Phillipson, Robert, $e editor. 700 1 $a Rapatahana, Vaughan, $e editor. 700 1 $a Tupas, T.
