This book explores the relationship between language education and citizenship through theoretical and pedagogical lenses, examining existing language education provision in the context of the needs of today's learners and societies. The robust analytical framework developed in the opening chapters provides the foundation for a range of practical suggestions for making the integration of language and citizenship a dynamic reality in the classroom.

Each chapter has clear objectives providing a roadmap for students and allowing lecturers to assign reading effectively, questions to stimulate discussion and critical reflection on the multiple perspectives and complex issues that shape the debate.
