The papers in this volume are a selection from those presented at a conference whose theme was Language, Education and Society in a Changing World. This conference provided a forum for the discussion of some of the major issues facing language planners, policy makers, researchers and teachers, in a world where languages are becoming extinct at an alarming rate and are frequently a focus for dispute and conflict, where foreign language teaching and learning are confronted by new technological and practical demands, and where modern communication media require the development of new linguistic techniques. These factors, together with the continued slow economic and educational development in the third world, where access to a 'world language' is often promoted as an educational panacea, present applied linguistics with major philosophical as well as practical problems.
