Transnational Education Crossing 'Asia' and 'The West'

Adjusted Desire, Transformative Mediocrity and Neo-Colonial Disguise

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book identifies and discusses four phenomena in transnational education (1) the planned, evolving and transformative mediocrity behind the endorsement of English-medium education legitimized by the interactive Asia-the West relationship; (2) the strategic employment of the terms 'Asia/Asian' and 'West/Western' by all stakeholders in their perceptions and construction of choice, quality, rigour, reliability and attractiveness of programs, courses, and locations; (3) the adjusted desire for an imagined 'West' among various stakeholders of transnational education; and (4) the assigned and self-realized ownership of English by otherwise normally on-the-margin groups of speakers.
