The model of English that should be used in classrooms has long been
a subject of debate. World Englishes, Implications for International
Communication and English Language Teaching, (with an accompanying
audio CD) describes selected varieties of World Englishes, and
discusses the advantages and disadvantages of selecting a particular
variety from the point of view of both teachers and learners. It
aims to examine and re-evaluate concepts such as 'standard',
'variety', 'native speaker' and 'non-native speaker', and to
validate the role played by multilingual and multicultural English
language teachers, arguing that context and learner needs should
determine the variety to be taught.
World Englishes was shortlisted for the 2008 British Council
Innovations Awards. |
