The worldwide spread, diversification, and globalization of the
English language in the course of the twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries has significant implications for English
Language Teaching and teacher education. We are currently
witnessing a paradigm shift towards Teaching English as an
International Language (TEIL) that aims to promote multilingualism
and awareness of the diversity of Englishes, increase exposure to
this diversity, embrace multiculturalism, and foster cross-cultural
awareness. Numerous initiatives that embrace TEIL can be observed
around the world, but ELT and teacher education in Germany (and
other European countries) appear to be largely unaffected by this
development, with standard British and American English and the
monolingual native speaker (including the corresponding cultural
norms) still being very much at the center of attention. The
present volume addresses this gap and is the first of its kind to
showcase recent initiatives that aim at introducing TEIL into ELT
and teacher education in Germany, but which have applicability and
impact for other countries with comparable education systems and
'traditional' ELT practices in the Expanding Circle. The chapters
in this book provide a balanced mix of conceptual, empirical, and
practical studies and offer the perspectives of the many
stakeholders involved in various settings of English language
education whose voices have not often been heard, i.e., students,
university lecturers, trainee teachers, teacher educators, and
in-service teachers. It therefore adds significantly to the limited
amount of previous work on TEIL in Germany and bridges the gap
between theory and practice that will not only be relevant for
researchers, educators, and practitioners in English language
education in Germany but other educational settings that are still
unaffected by the shift towards TEIL.
