The studies gathered and reported in this volume by Maria Lourdes S. Bautista represent the first sustained effort in this country going beyond one-time studies to fulfill the requirement of a masteral thesis or doctoral dissertation to study interaction in different classes of one institution and to look at the process for possible implications for language teaching. The pioneering set of studies uses both a qualitative description of the ethnography of speaking in a classroom setting and a quantitative counting of questions and answers summarized in percentage to yield proportions of teacher talk and student talk in different classrooms in literature, language, and English for Specific Purposes. What the studies yield is insight into the actual instructional procedures that take place, the teacher behaviors, and the learner behaviors in terms of verbal responses.

Employing a historical-structural approach, the study first examines the sociohistorical context in which English spread, identifying the crucial determinants of that spread within two interconnected processes. The first of these, the imperial spread that accompanied colonial rule in Africa and Asia, is shown to have operated within carefully prescribed boundaries which limited access to English, referred to in the study as the containment policy. A facet of socioeconomic development within colonialism, this imperial side of the development of EIL is ultimately subsumed under the second process, the evolution of the world econocultural system.
