Summary:

"The question of why language features increasingly at the centre of debates about education for social and economic development at the beginning of the 21st century is compelling. Within a rapidly changing world, language, literacy and communication are seen as constituting key elements in the process of lifelong learning. Contemporary technological development and cultural shifts intersect in complex ways with the legacy of colonialism and underdevelopment within developing countries with a colonial history. This book addresses some of these issues related to language and development."--BOOK JACKET.
