Teaching English as an International Language

Using a 3-year undergraduate program of EIL in an Australian university as a research site, this book provides a detailed account of actual classroom practices that raise students’ awareness of World Englishes and engage them in learning how to communicate interculturally. This book offers a clear and solid foundation for the development of EIL-oriented curricula in an English Language program and a teacher education program and critically reviews the current pedagogical principles and practices of teaching EIL. In so doing, it provides an alternative way of conceptualising and teaching EIL.
