Designed for ESL and ELT pedagogy courses around the world, this
text describes English grammar from a World Englishes perspective.
It is distinguished by its focus on the social setting for English
as a global language, the latest thinking about grammatical theory,
and new theories of how first and second languages are learned and
taught. The fundamental premise is that teaching and learning
grammar cannot be isolated from the local, regional, and global
sociocultural contexts in which the teaching and learning take
place. Part I presents different attitudes toward English as a
global language and some challenges that learners of English share
no matter where they are in the world. Part II is about the
features of English that educated speakers consider the most likely
and probable in Academic English. Part III describes the flexible
and fluid features of English that might be susceptible to change
or modification over time. Each chapter includes engaging Study,
Discussion, and Essay Questions and Activities.
