About this book
Reviews
"This is a well-conceived, highly readable and timely collection. The book tackles questions that are increasingly emerging as central to the future of English language teaching: namely, how ‘Englishes’ are to be conceptualised, their variations mapped and their implications for language teaching and learning understood. Keeping these questions in play throughout, the collection draws on a diversity of international contexts, case studies and relevant methodologies. The chapters include studies in the sociolinguistics of language variation, bringing out the social and ethical implications of this variation for educators, and studies that highlight the practical applications that ensue for the teaching and learning of Englishes. For the reader this twin focus and progression is of great value in bringing out the complexity of variation through a diversity of nuanced studies while at the same time tying these to the practical implications for teachers and learners."
