Description

Designed for ESL and ELT pedagogy courses around the world, this text describes English grammar from a World Englishes perspective.

It is distinguished by its focus on the social setting for English as a global language, the latest thinking about grammatical theory, and new theories of how first and second languages are learned and taught.

The fundamental premise is that teaching and learning grammar cannot be isolated from the local, regional, and global sociocultural contexts in which the teaching and learning take place.

Part I presents different attitudes toward English as a global language and some challenges that learners of English share no matter where they are in the world.

Part II is about the features of English that educated speakers consider the most likely and probable in Academic English.

Part III describes the flexible and fluid features of English that might be susceptible to change or modification over time.

Each chapter includes engaging Study, Discussion, and Essay Questions and Activities.
