Perspectives.
Our lead article in December 2009 issue is by internationally renowned Professor Robert Phillipson. Phillipson writes, "The article stresses the importance of seeing English in context, both in terms of its global importance and how we refer to it: labels such as ‘lingua franca’ are misleading. The fact that there is a standard form of written English of global relevance should not beguile one into thinking that the language is ideologically neutral. Academic freedom in universities is constrained in various ways, language policy being of central importance... English Studies should ideally serve the entire society, and contribute to promoting multilingualism, but academic specialisation is suspect if it lacks a holistic perspective and political awareness. The study of the international role of English needs to engage with US history, the consolidation of the language nationally, and with its promotion worldwide as a constituent of American empire. This necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. It is helpful to see regional integration, European or Asian, and ‘global English’ as projects, entailing certain products and processes. The monolingual UK-US approach to English learning, of major importance for the British economy, is increasingly under attack. The export business of campuses in Malaysia and China needs careful scrutiny."

The December edition will be on-line from 1st December 2009. Responses are invited in our Perspectives Section.
