Educational linguistics is transcultural, with research in the field adopting an international scope. Educational systems, on the contrary, are culture-bound. As a consequence, actual teaching differs across countries, and sometimes even among provinces, local educational authorities, and schools.

However, a globalized world needs to share the various meanings of â oeknowing a language⠝ and â oeteaching a language⠝, as language is the main factor of both cultural identity and national and international interaction.

The framework offered here is built on eight â oehypotheses⠝, logical models that provide the potential common core of a non-culture-bound theory of language education and of language teaching. The book thus suggests a common terminology, some common principles, and a basic paradigm to be shared in both theoretical and practical research in edu-linguistics, consequently going beyond the borders implied by such titles as European framework, American standards, and Chinese guidelines.
