Abstract

The article is a book review of "Adult language education and migration: Challenging agendas in policy and practice." The book examines the policies and practices surrounding adult language education in nine countries, including Australia, Canada, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US. It analyzes issues such as integration, language testing, multiculturalism, and teaching challenges. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the field and offers innovative teaching practices. However, it lacks a unified definition of "immigrants" and focuses primarily on Eurocentric countries, neglecting other regions experiencing human mobility. Overall, the book sparks discussion and highlights the interrelationship between education and policy in language education for migrants. [Extracted from the article]
