Two decades of research and development in language and literacy education have yielded a broad, multidisciplinary focus. Yet education systems face constant economic and technological change, with attendant issues of identity and power, community and culture. What are the implications for language education of new 'semiotic economies' and communications technologies? Of complex blendings of cultural and linguistic diversity in communities and institutions? Of new cultural, regional and national identities and practices? The New Perspectives on Language and Education book series features critical and interpretive, disciplinary and multidisciplinary perspectives on teaching and learning, language and literacy in new times.

Proposals for the series are welcome and should be submitted to Anna Roderick. Please read the notes about how to submit a book proposal.
