This book explores Singapore’s language education system. Unlike previous volumes, which discuss the bilingual requirement for learning, it focuses on Singapore’s quadrilingual system, bringing together articles on each of the four languages – English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil – as well as articles that examine more than one language. It highlights past successes, current concerns, and future directions for language education. The book focuses on classroom pedagogy in all four official languages, showcasing how languages are taught and learned in Singapore as a basis for better understanding the system “from the inside out.” The authors present empirical, classroom-based studies on language pedagogy in all four languages, as well as updated information on the current socio-political context and how it has influenced attempts at pedagogical innovation. Consideration is given to the dialectical relationship between policy and practice. The chapters also include discussions of pre-school-age learning, influences of language policy, home literacy practices, and commentaries by international language-in-education scholars. This approach also provides a basis for international comparison – especially for those who are interested in fostering English proficiency while maintaining one or more national languages. The volume is particularly important in light of the continuing international efforts to integrate English into national educational systems where it is not the dominant language.

Singapore has been taken by many researchers as a fascinating living language policy and planning laboratory. Language and education policy in Singapore has been pivotal not only to the establishment and growth of schooling, but to the very project of nation building. Since their inception, ‘mother tongue’ policies have been established with two explicit goals. Firstly there is the development and training of human and intellectual capital for the expansion and networking of a Singaporean service and information economy. Secondly there is the maintenance of cultural heritage and values as a means for social cohesion and, indeed, the maintenance of community and regional social capital. These tasks have been fraught with tension and contradiction, both in relation to the conditions of rapid cultural, economic and political change in Asia and globally, but as well because of the tensions between the so called ‘world language English’ and Singapore’s three other official languages, Tamil, Malay and Mandarin. This has been complicated, of course, by the challenges of vibrant regional dialects and the emergence of Singlish as a powerful medium of community life.

While changes in the demographic, economic, socio-political, linguistic and educational aspects of life in Singapore in the last fifteen years have been fairly well-documented, there is clearly a need for a state-of-the-art volume on the interrelationship of developments in language, society and education in Singapore. This book not only deals with English, but also with Chinese, Malay and Tamil, Singapore's otherofficial languages. It draws upon empirical research carried out in the last decade in Singapore and examines the subject from a range of perspectives, including that of classroom pedagogy, as well as the language needs of both the school-going population and working adults.

Singapore has been taken by many researchers as a fascinating living language policy and planning laboratory.

Since their inception, 'mother tongue' policies have been established with two explicit goals. Firstly there is the development and training of human and intellectual capital for the expansion and networking of a Singaporean service and information economy.

This has been complicated, of course, by the challenges of vibrant regional dialects and the emergence of Singlish as a powerful medium of community life. This book will be the first volume to provide a critical analysis of language policy, curriculum and pedagogical practices in Singapore. It will bring together international and national expertise to examine issues of language policies, curricula and pedagogies in the light of the intensification of cultural and economic globalization in the last decade and as a consequence of a renewed concern with the linguistic and cultural implications that a multi-polar world brings. Indeed, one of the consequences of globalization is the tension between the centrifugal and centripetal forces of tradition and modernity that pull society in opposing directions and that the school is expected to harmonize.

In Singapore, multilingualism is the norm, and English (often the local variety) is widely acquired and used. This book examines the social and historical context of children's English in Singapore, and traces the development of four Singaporean children who have English as a native language. The implications for education and speech therapy are discussed.
