World Englishes Paperback with Audio CD: Implications for International Communication and English Language Teaching (Cambridge Professional Learning)

About this book

The model of English that should be used in classrooms has long been a subject of debate. World Englishes Implications for International Communication and English Language Teaching describes varieties of World Englishes and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of selecting a particular variety from the point of view of both teachers and learners. It aims to examine and re-evaluate concepts such as standard variety native speaker and non-native speaker and to validate the role played by multilingual and multicultural English language teachers arguing that context and learner needs should determine the variety to be taught.
