This volume brings together scholars from around the world to juxtapose the voices of classroom participants alongside the voices of ruling elites with the aim of critically linking language policy issues with classroom practice in a range of contexts. The volume is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers and educators in a range of areas. Following a foreword, On the Possibilities of a Post-postcolonial Language Education by Angel Lin and Peter Martin, this book is divided into the following 11 chapters: (1) From a Critical Deconstruction Paradigm to a Critical Construction Paradigm: An Introduction to Decolonisation, Globalisation and Language-in-Education Policy and Practice (Angel Lin and Peter Martin); (2) Nation-Building in a Globalised World: Language Choice and Education in India (E. Annamalai); (3) Critical, Transdisciplinary Perspectives on Language-in-Education Policy and Practice in Postcolonial Contexts: The Case of Hong Kong (Angel Lin); (4) Remaking Singapore for the New Age: Official Ideology and the Realities of Practice in Language-in-Education (Rani Rubdy); (5) "Safe" Language Practices in Two Rural Schools in Malaysia: Tensions between Policy and Practice (Peter Martin); (6) The Four Language Stages in the History of Iran (Abdolmehdi Riazi); (7) Higher Education Language Policy and the Challenge of Linguistic Imperialism: A Turkish Case Study (Timothy Reagan and Sandra Schreffler); (8) Language Classroom Practices in Kenya (Grace Bunyi); (9) Language and the Struggle to Learn: The Intersection of Classroom Realities, Language Policy, and Neocolonial and Globalisation Discourses in South African Schools (Margie Probyn); (10) Language-in-Education Policies and Practices in Africa with a Special Focus on Tanzania and South Africa: Insights from Research in Progress (Birgit Brock-Utne); and (11) Accommodating Tensions in Language-in-Education Policies: An Afterword (Suresh Canagarajah). An index concludes the book.

This electronic publication was conceived in the summer of 1992. A small band of Cornell Law students, charged with identifying subjects on which computer-based materials would be particularly helpful, placed citation at the top of the list. With their assistance I prepared the first edition of Introduction to Basic Legal Citation. It was released on diskette that fall, one of the first hypertext publications of Cornell's Legal Information Institute (LII). Later reconfigured for the Web, where it still resides at: http://www.law.cornell.edu/citation/, the work has been updated regularly in the years since. Like that online version on which it is based, this e-book was most recently revised in the fall of 2013. As has been true of all editions released since 2010, it is indexed to the fourth edition of the ALWD Citation Manual and the nineteenth edition of The Bluebook. But it also rests firmly on the evolving practice of judges writing opinions and lawyers writing briefs.Professor Martin requests that you donate to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law if you would like to show your support for this free work.A companion “wiki” also allows users to raise questions, post comments, elaborate upon the work’s introductory treatment or extend its coverage to other types of material or jurisdictions. This is primarily not an "ask the author" or "tell the author" forum. It aims rather to provide a framework that will allow those teaching and learning about legal citation, as well as professionals confronting an unfamiliar citation challenge, to discuss, extend and improve the underlying work.
