OverviewThis volume examines the impact of English in countries in which it is taken for granted - Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the USA. It explores how the dominance of English impacts on the development of national language policies, the maintenance of minority languages, the ability to provide services in other languages, the efforts to promote first language and bilingual education programmes, and the opportunities for adult and child second language and literacy training.
