English education programs are frequently reformed to reflect need for proficieny. In response to these changes, educational contexts worldwide have implemented English education with uniquely different goals, motivations, features and pedagogies. While most research has focused on macro level language policy and planning, there is a growing interest in micro planning, especially teachers¿ agency in policy response. Teachers' capacity to act and shape their responses to educational reforms and practices is a quality developed through knowledge and experience. This book examines the agency of the teacher in negotiating educational reforms and policy changes at the local and national levels.
