商品簡介
Rural education presents a unique context unlike other settings, and English learning is no exception. Each chapter here offers insight into the unique context of rural schools, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities for teachers and learners of English.
Reaching out into the rural English teaching and learning environment led to compiling these chapters that contribute a clarification of the problems, possibilities, and earnest outcomes of teachers around the world. Often with overly large classes, isolation, and few resources, English instruction leads to extrinsic success for their students in future educational, professional, and economic outcomes. In other instances, the fruits of these teachers' labor become intrinsic motivators for learners who value self-development. English in the international curriculum has perceived value for developing human and social capital, as indicated in these authors' personal and professional journeys.
