Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching: Attitudes and Impact

Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching: Attitudes and Impact 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.
