Reagan invites language educators from all types of language education settings to reflect on some of the many important theoretical issues that underlie and inform the pedagogy and profession
of language teaching. Topics explored include what we mean by language , how one learns language, why students ought to study a second language, power and language rights in education, how
societies decide which languages are to be taught in the public schools, artificial languages and the phenomenon of Esperanto, and language endangerment and language death. No subject index.
