Teaching English as an International Language

Teaching English as an International Language
Teaching English as an International Language

Rethinking English beyond native-speaker norms

This is a smart, eye-opening read for teachers and language learners who want to question the old assumptions behind English teaching. It looks at English as a global shared tool, not something owned by native speakers, which makes the discussion feel especially relevant and refreshing. You’d come away seeing classroom materials, pronunciation, culture, and standards in a much more thoughtful, modern way.

Description

An introduction to the role of English as an international language and its implications for language teaching. The book discusses how the global spread of English raises questions for teaching practice, including whether English should be taught differently from other second languages, how changes in English affect mutual understanding, and whether native-speaker models remain useful. It also considers whether English-language teaching materials should reflect native-speaking cultures and how teaching methods should respond to English as an international language. The work is organized into five chapters: Chapter 1 – English as an International Language; Chapter 2 – Bilingual Users of English; Chapter 3 – Standards for English as an International Language; Chapter 4 – Culture and English as an International Language; Chapter 5 – Teaching Methods and English as an International Language. Each chapter ends with further reading, and the book includes a glossary and full bibliography.
