They examine governmental settings, non-governmental and corporate settings, secondary schools, vocational education, higher education, and corporate education service providers and how neoliberal rationales are connected to educational apparatuses and affect how people make sense of and invest in language and multilingualism, in terms of language as a recruiting tool, the restructuring of language instruction, and language learning as self-realization. They explore the commercialization of the language teaching industry in China; the valuation and devaluation of minority languages in Mexico; the commodification of diversity and language; the promotion of English as a language of instruction in higher education in South Korea; learning English for socioeconomic mobility and professional integration; English language teaching aid projects in the Philippines; state-sponsored entrepreneurial education, neoliberal policies of economic development, and the acquisition of communication skills in Italy; language education policy in US schooling; and English for academic purpose programs in higher education.
