A much-cited and highly influential text by Alastair Pennycook, one
of the world authorities in sociolinguistics, The Cultural Politics
of English as an International Language explores the globalization
of English by examining its colonial origins, its connections to
linguistics and applied linguistics, and its relationships to the
global spread of teaching practices. Nine chapters cover a wide
range of key topics including: international politics colonial
history critical pedagogy postcolonial literature. The book
provides a critical understanding of the concept of the
'worldliness of English', or the idea that English can never be
removed from the social, cultural, economic or political contexts
in which it is used. Reissued with a substantial preface, this
Routledge Linguistics Classic remains a landmark text, which led a
much-needed critical and ideologically-informed investigation into
the burgeoning topic of World Englishes. Key reading for all those
working in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Sociolinguistics and
World Englishes.
