Global Englishes
Global Englishes
The global spread of English, with over two billion users of the language, is now well-documented. English functions as a language of education, business, tourism, and intercultural communication in many settings across the world. Global Englishes offers a clear and comprehensive overview of key areas of the topic, encompassing both World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) within a single volume.
This engaging textbook offers readers the opportunity to reflect on key debates as well as develop their own thinking on real-world language practices and problems in light of Global Englishes theory and research. Organised into a three-part Survey, followed by readings from important texts, this is both an introductory textbook covering key concepts and themes, and a starting point for further study. It is essential reading for students of Global/World Englishes and ELF in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, English language teaching, and intercultural communication.

Abstract
The global spread of English, with over two billion users of the language, is now well-documented. English functions as a language of education, business, tourism, and intercultural communication in many settings across the world. Global Englishes offers a clear and comprehensive overview of key areas of the topic, encompassing both World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) within a single volume.
This engaging textbook offers readers the opportunity to reflect on key debates as well as develop their own thinking on real-world language practices and problems in light of Global Englishes theory and research. Organised into a three-part Survey, followed by readings from important texts, this is both an introductory textbook covering key concepts and themes, and a starting point for further study. It is essential reading for students of Global/World Englishes and ELF in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, English language teaching, and intercultural communication.
