Description
Summary:	This book brings together research from the fields of Global Englishes and ELT to provide concrete proposals for the teaching of English as a Lingua Franca. Calling for a critical reexamination of ELT to ensure that classroom practice reflects how the language is actually used, this book highlights the frequent use of English as a Lingua Franca/English as an International Language among non-native speakers in today's multicultural world, showcases the author's research into language learner attitudes towards native-speaker norms in English teaching, makes practical suggestions for pedagogical change and the implementation of a Global Englishes for Language Teaching curriculum. Global Englishes and Change in English Language Teaching is key reading for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of ELT and Global Englishes.
