Present-day globalization, migration, and the spread of English
have resulted in a great diversity of social and educational
contexts in which English learning is taking place. A basic
assumption of this book is that because English is an international
language, effective pedagogical decisions cannot be made without
giving special attention to the many varied contexts in which
English is taught and learned. Its unique value is the combination
of three strands ? globalization, sociolinguistics, and English as
an international language ? in one focused volume specifically
designed for language teachers, providing explicit links between
sociolinguistic concepts and language pedagogy.
International English in Its Sociolinguistic Contexts
- fully recognizes the relationship between social context and
language teaching
- describes the social and sociolinguistic factors that affect
the teaching and learning of English
- examines how the social context is influential in determining
which languages are promoted in schools and society and how these
languages are taught
- is unique in directly relating basic constructs in
sociolinguistics to English language teaching
- features case studies that illustrate the diversity of English
teaching contexts
Directed to a wide TESOL and applied linguistics professional
readership, this text will be particularly useful and effective for
pre-service and in-service professional development in TESOL for
K-12 and higher education levels.
