In a growing number of countries, English is required as a
foreign language for all students, English language learning is
being encouraged at a younger and younger age, and English
proficiency tests are key in many high-stakes educational and
professional decisions. What general principles should inform a
socioculturally sensitive pedagogy and what pedagogical practices
would be consistent with these principles?
Directly addressing these essential questions, this book
explores the pedagogical implications of the continuing spread of
English and its role as an international language. In each chapter
an expert on a particular aspect of English language teaching
reflects on what the spread of English suggests for classroom
principles and practice and provides specific examples of practices
that are consistent with these principles. All chapters include
activities, discussion questions, and an illustrative vignette that
encourage teachers to apply the pedagogical practices to their own
classroom and to reflect on the effects of such practices. Designed
for pre-service and in-service teachers of English around the
world, this book fills a critical need in the field.
