Abstract
This chapter is devoted to a discussion on modern language education programs in the Asia-Pacific region. The chapter aims to provide an overview of modern language education in three regions: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. The chapter highlights that English still dominates the modern language education landscape, either as the de facto official language, as the dominant foreign language, or as the main medium of instruction in formal schooling. Teaching and learning languages other than English has just begun to draw the public attention in this region, though with variations depending on the different socioeconomic development levels of the countries. However, to what extent that the attempts to diversify modern language education can achieve fruitful results still remains to be seen.KeywordsModern language educationAsia and Pacific
