«... The second section focuses on intellectuals and education and their role in the reproduction of these systems. Language specialists and teachers typically function as instruments of dominant ideologies; their nearly exclusive focuson linguistic and developmental issues tends to obscure the broader socio-political context underlying their theories. The third section suggests ways in which English as an International Language (EIL) could function as a democratic language through the development of a transglossic function for English and through the democratization of education. Only as learners participate in the educational process, and follow ing Gramsci are elevated to the status of intellectuals capable of making their own decisions, will a democratic model of EIL be aimed at.».
