E-raamat: Language Teacher Education for Global Englishes: A Practical Resource Book

"This edited volume is a fitting tribute to the life and work of Farzad Sharifian. Professor Sharifian spent his life investigating the spread and development of Global Englishes and the ramifications of this linguistic and cultural diversity for the teaching of English. Building on his work, this book combines the theoretical underpinnings of Global Englishes with the pedagogical implications of Global Englishes for teaching methods and materials, language identity, language assessment, and curriculum development. This is a ground-breaking book in its mapping out of the relationship between the theory of Global Englishes and its practical implications for English teacher education and English learning around the globe. It provides a sound model for future work in this area." - Sandra Lee McKay, Professor Emerita, San Francisco State University, USA

"This is a delightful collection of ideas on how the intricacies and realities of Global Englishes can be translated in teacher education programs. It offers fresh theoretical perspectives on the topic as well as presenting practical and down-to-earth ideas that language teachers and language teacher educators can apply in their teaching. A must-read book for language students and educators." -Willy A. Renandya, Principal Lecturer, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
