  Language Awareness in the Classroom addresses the central educational question of the impact that explicit language knowledge has on learning and language learning.
  
  A substantial Introduction defines the issues and key concepts and relates them to contemporary educational policy and practice in Europe and internationally. The papers are organised into four thematic sections: the extent and nature of language awareness in teacher education; school-based language awareness programmes; tertiary education initiatives and modes of evaluation of language awareness programmes.
