This book investigates the ways in which new developments in areas of language teaching practice, such as policy-making, planning, methodology and the use of educational technology are locally adopted, adapted, initiated, and implemented in Vietnam and Cambodia. The region is responding to a large number of significant challenges, including large-scale education reforms, the effects of globalisation and the need for lifelong learning, as well as concerns about the quality of its language education system. By looking at the drivers, stakeholders, obstacles and affordances in one particular regional context, the authors examine how processes of change occur. This will help anyone involved in language development, from curriculum reform to materials development, and from programme evaluation to the setting of assessment standards. The book will be of particular interest to those involved in managing change in language education that attempts to mediate between global trends and local needs, as well as students and scholars working in language education, applied linguistics and related fields.
