Preferred term

language and education in asia  

Definition

  • Globalization has made, and will continue to make, a major impact on language education in Asia. The fact that English has become the de facto common language of communication (or lingua franca) across the globe has led Asian governments to revisit their language policies so that their countries can participate in, or become competitive in, the global economy.
