The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English as an International Language

The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English as an International Language provides a ground-breaking overview of the research on the global spread of English with pedagogical implications. Bringing together a number of key scholars and scholarly discussions on various aspects of teaching English as an International Language (TEIL), this handbook directs research in this field to help inform the much-needed paradigm shift in ELT away from idealized native English-speaking norms. Reframing English language, language teaching, and teacher education to match the new sociolinguistic landscape of the 21st century, this handbook analyzes this topic in seven key areas: - Theoretical considerations - Major frameworks and proposals - Principles and practices of teaching and assessing English - Innovative approaches, varied contexts, and transformative practices - Diverse teaching settings and populations - Teacher education and professional development - Research developments and future directions The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English as an International Language is essential reading for scholars and students researching in the areas of World Englishes, English as a lingua franca, English as an international language, Global Englishes, ELT, sociolinguistics, and critical applied linguistics.
