Abstract

"In an increasingly interconnected world, supporting students as they learn to communicate in linguistically diverse intercultural settings is a significant aim of English language and international education. To address this need, this book breaks down the complexities of the diversity and variability associated with Global English and challenges conventional educational focuses through activities that promote intercultural awareness and citizenship. The resource book offers pre-service teachers and educators a range of activities grounded in contemporary perspectives on Global Englishes, intercultural learning, and intercultural citizenship education. The book shifts the focus from teaching to imitate native-like proficiency by providing educators with practices and ideas to develop students who are globally aware, can handle complexities of communicating using English as a lingua franca (ELF), and who can act as responsible intercultural citizens in a globalised society. Around 120 practical activities are presented for use in supplementing existing curricula or in the design of new learning programmes. This book is a key resource for pre-service teachers and educators involved in English language education, international education, and intercultural education, as well as for scholars and instructors of applied linguistics, TESOL preparation programmes, and teacher education programmes"--
