Global Englishes, Indian Contexts: Research, Practice and New Directions

Global Englishes, Indian Contexts: Research, Practice and New Directions presents a rich collection of select papers from the ELTAI Annual Conference 2023, capturing the diversity and depth of English language and literature scholarship in India today. The volume examines how English, as a global language, is being redefined through Indian pedagogical, cultural, and linguistic realities. Bringing together empirical research, reflective practice, and pedagogical innovation, the contributors explore themes such as multilingual education, teacher development, policy transformation, and digital mediation. Together, these essays illustrate how educators and researchers across India are shaping new directions in English studies-rooted in local experience yet resonant with global relevance. This book will appeal to scholars, teacher-educators, and practitioners seeking to engage with emerging paradigms in English language education and to understand how Global Englishes continue to evolve within India’s dynamic educational landscape.
