Global Englishes for Language Teaching

by Heath Rose, Nicola Galloway

Overview

The spread of English as a global language has resulted in the emergence of a number of related fields of research within applied linguistics, including English as an International Language, English as a Lingua Franca, and World Englishes. Here, Heath Rose and Nicola Galloway consolidate this work by exploring how the global spread of English has impacted TESOL, uniting similar movements in second language acquisition, such as translanguaging and the multilingual turn. They build on a number of concrete proposals for change and innovation in English language teaching practice, whilst offering a detailed examination of how to incorporate a Global Englishes perspective into the multiple faces of TESOL, putting research-informed practice at the forefront. Global Englishes for Language Teaching is a ground-breaking attempt to unite discussions on the pedagogical implications of the global spread of English into a single text for researchers and practicing teachers.

Editorial Reviews

‘A related strength is that the book often draws on research that the authors themselves have conducted over the last ten years or so. Hints on practical teaching ideas are sprinkled throughout the text but these authors are perhaps stronger on the concepts underlying teaching’ Brian Poole, ELT Journal
