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

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:

• highlights that multilingualism, not monolingualism, is the norm in todays globalised world, and that non-native English speakers far outnumber native English speakers;
• showcases the authors research into English language learner attitudes towards English and ELT in relation to Global Englishes;
• makes practical suggestions for pedagogical change within ELT.

Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of TESOL/ELT and Global Englishes.
