Reviews for Decolonisation, Globalisation: Language-in-Education Policy and Practice

The critical construction paradigm adopted by the authors is a very positive and exciting development in LIE-PP studies. I have every confidence that the volume will fulfill its promise to offer not only policy and practice critiques but also practical policy, pedagogy and curriculum alternatives.
