Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching

About this book

This book brings together research from the fields of Global Englishes and ELT to provide concrete proposals for the teaching of English as a Lingua Franca. Calling for a critical re-examination of ELT to ensure that classroom practice reflects how the language is actually used, this book: highlights the frequent use of English as a Lingua Franca/English as an International Language amongst non-native speakers in today's multicultural world; showcases the author's research into language learner attitudes towards native-speaker norms in English teaching; makes practical suggestions for pedagogical change and the implementation of a Global Englishes for Language Teaching curriculum. Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of ELT and Global Englishes.
