TEACHING ENGLISH IN GLOBAL CONTEXTS

Teaching English in Global Contexts involves understanding cultural diversity and intercultural communication, as well as being able to adapt your teaching to meet the needs of diverse learners in all contexts. Through a collaborative process, the authors of this book have come together to discuss the principles and pedagogical implications for adopting an international or global perspective toward the teaching of English, which include knowing our learners, promoting multiculturalism, understanding language variation, creating conditions for language learning, designing high-quality lessons, and engaging in a community of practice. Organized into nine parts that represent the language, learners, and learning aspects identified in the book title, its 55 chapters provide pre-service teachers in international contexts with a quality open-access educational resource that addresses these principles and pedagogical implications.
