Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching (Routledge Focus on Linguistics)

Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching analyses the impact of current ELT practice, bringing together research from the fields of Global Englishes and ELT to provide suggestions for the implementation of a Global Englishes for Language Teaching curriculum. Calling for a critical re-examination of ELT to ensure that classroom practice reflects how the English language functions as a lingua franca, this book:\nhighlights that multilingualism, not monolingualism, is the norm in today's globalised world, and that 'non-native' English speakers far outnumber 'native' English speakers;\nshowcases the author’s research into English language learner attitudes towards English and ELT in relation to Global Englishes;\nmakes practical suggestions for pedagogical change within ELT.\nGlobal Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of TESOL/ELT and Global Englishes.
