Abstract
In a world characterised by globalisation and internationalisation, as well as in view of the attendant growth in importance of English as a lingua franca, the ability to speak one or more foreign language(s) has become increasingly essential, particularly in non-English speaking countries. Among other things, this has led to a growing emphasis in many countries on an early start for foreign language teaching and learning and the introduction of foreign language education as part of the primary/elementary school curriculum, as well as a growth in English-medium higher education provision.
