This volume presents reflections from leaders in education in the US, Austria, and Qatar, who respond to questions on leadership in language education in relation to their careers as leaders, including their biographical background; how they understand the term “reflective practice”; how they engage in it and the challenges they face when doing so; and specific leadership challenges they have faced, how they coped with them, and advice they would give to others.

Although there are many aspects of language education that have been covered extensively in the literature, from methodologies to technologies, Leadership in Language Education (LiLE) has received very little attention - until recently. As the world saw, during the global pandemic, poor leadership at the highest levels costs lives. The world needs better leaders -- at every level of society - and Reflecting on Leadership in Language Education represents the first time that Reflective Practice has been positioned at the forefront of leadership development in language education. It is also the first book ever to bring together 300 years of LiLE experience into a single volume, capturing the insights from three centuries of lived LiLE experiences for the generations of leaders to come.
