Présentation de l'éditeur

The rise of globalization makes language competencies more valuable, both at individual and societal levels. This book examines the links between globalization and the way we teach and learn languages. It begins by exploring why some individuals are more successful than others at learning nonnative languages and why some education systems and countries are more successful than others at teaching languages. The book comprises chapters by different authors who are experts in the subject of language learning. There are chapters on the role of motivation; the way that languages, cultures, and identities are interconnected; and the insights provided by neuroscience. Also discussed are migrants and their education and opportunities to learn languages, as well as language learning, teaching, and new approaches in Asia, North and South America, Africa, and Europe.
