Advances in Global Englishes Language Teaching, Gebunden

Klappentext

This timely book presents a comprehensive exploration of Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) within the contemporary context of Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Learners and speakers of English are now much more likely to enter communication with people who are also learners of English than to speak to so-called native speakers. As a result, English language education is having to adapt and shift to a more inclusive approach. In Austria, Germany and Switzerland especially, an increasing number of voices have called for consistent implementation of GELT-informed practices in English language classrooms.
Bringing together key scholars in the field, this volume explores perspectives from innovators and early adopters of GELT in Germany and beyond. The contributions take different methodological approaches, from systematic analysis to corpus-based discourse analysis, and cover primary, secondary and higher education. They offer some of the first discussions of cultural learning and decolonialization in the context of GELT.
While focusing on a local cultural and linguistic context, the questions discussed in this book are essential for anyone who wishes to engage with GELT, its implementation across the world, and other forms of teaching and learning English.
