This book is a kind of reference to English teaching in a number of countries. The editor has collected 15 articles which are all structured in the same way. Each article begins with a brief introduction to the country, usually of a geographical, demographic or historic nature. This is followed by an historical account of English Language Teaching (ELT) in the country under discussion. The third section is devoted to the ELT curriculum in that country. The next main section is devoted to a biography of an English teacher in that country - in most cases the author's autobiography. Each paper ends with a short conclusion, mostly mentioning challenges or problems for ELT in the nation under discussion.
