The essays and research papers in this collection explore current
issues in Language Education, English for Academic Purposes,
Contrastive Discourse Analysis, and Language Policy and Planning,
and outline promising directions for theory and practice in applied
linguistics. The collection also honours the life-long contribution
of Robert B. Kaplan to the field.
The sociopolitical dimensions of English language teaching are
central to the English language professional. These dimensions
include language policies, cultural expectations, and the societal
roles of languages. This book aims to present these issues to
practicing and aspiring teachers in order to raise awareness of the
sociopolitical nature of English language teaching.
Mastering English through Global Debate brings together rhetorical
traditions and the best practices of ESL instruction to facilitate
superior-level proficiency in the English language. Each chapter
addresses a rich topic of debate, providing students with a set of
prereading activities, texts covering both sides of a debate topic,
and postreading comprehension and lexical development exercises-all
of which foster the language and critical thinking skills needed
for successful debates. A rhetorical methods section in each
chapter integrates language and practice and prepares students for
end-of-chapter debates. Using debate to develop advanced competency
in a second language is a method that is finding increased interest
among instructors and students alike, in both synchronous online
teaching and the individual classroom. Students are prepared to
participate fully in debates with their classmates-at home, abroad,
or both.
