(Re-)Locating TESOL in an Age of Empire Edited by Julian Edge Language and Globalization Series Editors: Sue Wright, University of Portsmouth, UK; and Helen Kelly- Holmes, University of Limerick, Ireland. In the context of current political and social developments, where the national group is not so clearly defi ned and delineated, the state language not so clearly dominant in every domain, and cross-border fl ows and transfers affect more than a small elite, new patterns of language use will develop. The series aims to provide a framework for reporting on and analysing the linguistic outcomes of globaliza- tion and localization.

No individual alone can have the right one. We permit free expression because we need the resources of the whole group to get us the ideas we need. Thinking is a social activity. I tolerate your thought because it is a part of my thought – even when my thought defi nes itself in opposition to yours.’ – Louis Menand, The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America, 2001, p. 431 Contents Notes on the Contributors ix Background and Overview xii 1 Dangerous Liaison: Globalization, Empire and TESOL 1 B.

Her research interests include English for academic purposes, critical pedagogy, critical discourse analysis, and identity. Her publications include Critical English for Academic Purposes and articles in TESOL Quarterly, English for Specifi c Purposes, and College ESL. Christopher Brumfi t holds a Chair in Applied Linguistics in the School of Humanities, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. He is a former Chair of the British Association for Applied Linguistics and Vice- President of AILA, and is an Academician of the UK Academy of Social Sciences. He has published widely, with specifi c focuses on the role of explicit knowledge in language learning, language policy, the develop- ment of criticality among higher education students, and the relation- ships between applied linguistics, postmodernism and science. His most recent book is Individual Freedom in Language Teaching. Julian Edge is a lecturer in TESOL at Manchester University, UK, having been a senior lecturer at Aston University, Birmingham, when he began to edit this collection, and an associate professor at Macquarie Univer- sity, Sydney when he completed the manuscript. In the light of this trajectory, it is perhaps understandably with some postmodern irony that he identifi es his major research interest as professional develop- ment. He has published widely and regards Continuing Cooperative Devel- opment (2002) to be his most worthwhile contribution to the fi eld thus far. Branca Falabella Fabrício holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and a PhD in Language Studies. She is a lecturer at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and her main research interests are the construc- tion of discourse and interactional and identity practices in traditional institutional contexts, as well as in institutional contexts undergoing change (school, media, family, work settings, etc.). Marnie Holborow is a lecturer in ESOL at Dublin City University, Ireland. Besides teaching exchange students, she lectures on the MA ix
