El. knyga: Critical Perspectives on Global Englishes in Asia: Language Policy, Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment

This collection provides well-argued critiques of the use of native speaker models and standards for English teaching. The authors, taking into account a wide range of contexts, propose the adoption of the concept of global English(es) (GE) and provide thoughtful suggestions of how principles of GE can inform the English language teaching practice. * Andy Kirkpatrick, Griffith University, Australia * Asia is of immense importance to the field of Global Englishes, as it is a vibrant multilingual region, where the impact of Global Englishes is as complex as it is pervasive. This superb volume expertly explores the implications for language education policy and practice by casting a critical eye over issues central to the fields development. * Heath Rose, University of Oxford, UK * The acceptance and recognition of Global Englishes in the curriculum and language policies is still a long way to go but this volume provides a positive perspective to students, teachers, and practitioners regarding such issues. Hence, I fully recommend those working in this field to read this volume because the insightful findings and suggestions related to the principles of GE in English language education will contribute to their teaching practice. -- Teresa Wai See Ong, Griffith University, Australia * LINGUIST List 32.2021 *
