ISBN: 0805863370 ISBN-13: 9780805863376 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $180.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: June 2008 Annotation: Present-day globalization, migration, and the spread of English have resulted in a great diversity of social and educational contexts in which English learning is taking place. A basic assumption of this book is that because English is an international language, effective pedagogical decisions cannot be made without giving special attention to the many varied contexts in which English is taught and learned. Its unique value is the combination of three strands - globalization, sociolinguistics, and English as an international language - in one focused volume specifically designed for language teachers, providing explicit links between sociolinguistic concepts and language pedagogy. |
