Language, literacy, and education in the Asia-Pacific : contemporary perspectives / edited by Allan B. I. Bernardo, Ma. Joahna Mante Estacio.

This anthology of articles collected from the journal The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher provides a lucid picture of recent developments in the field of English language research. The different chapters give great insights to a variety of language-related topics, such as thinking patterns and skills, as well as language use in a variety of populations (e.g., deaf children, college students) and forms (e.g., spoken, written). With the broad scope of ideas and the various scholarly frameworks employed in the contained studies, this book will prove to be a key reference for scholars and students in the field of language and education research, not only in the national but also in the international scene.
