- W2505052181 abstract "In the mid-1980s, Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost (‘openness’) and perestroika (political and economic ‘restructuring’) marked the beginning of a transformation process in Central and Eastern Europe. The collapse of communism in this region from 1989 onwards resulted in a new openness for Western foreign languages and new methods of teaching them. As a consequence, an increasing number of teachers from Europe and the United States were sent to Eastern Europe and later also to Asia (mainly to China), starting in the early 1990s. Germany and Austria took the lead in this development for two reasons. One is their geographical proximity, and also the historical ties that had been severed more than 40 years before. The other is the German language, which had played an important role in the USSR. German was the most important Western foreign language. It was, after all, spoken in the German Democratic Republic (GDR [East Germany], 1949–90), one of the ‘socialist brother countries’. Therefore, these German-speaking countries promoted their language so that German, rather than English, would attain the status of a lingua franca. As we now know, those attempts were futile; English has become the global language in this region, too, and has even turned into an emblem of a global identity (Jackson, 2010: 9)." @default.
