Abstract

The diverse, globalized uses of English as an international language (EIL) or lingua franca (ELF) have proliferated over the past few decades, but arguably this reality has not been fully reflected in commensurate changes within the teaching and learning of the language(s). Other single‐volume texts have attempted to address implications for practice, for instance McKay (2002), Kirkpatrick (2007), and Matsuda (2017). In this book, the authors seek to develop their earlier conceptualization of Global Englishes for Language Teaching (GELT), particularly as expounded in Galloway and Rose (2015), with the ambitious goal of synthesizing an array of literature and research into coherent proposals for innovation and change within the profession.
