Although the notion of Global Englishes (GE) has been widely discussed in the literature, few books consider how GE can be translated into educational practice. This book addresses the incorporation of GE into language policy and curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices, and focuses on a wide range of geographical and language contexts. Incorporating GE into language curriculum, pedagogy and assessment practices calls for a reframing of our pedagogical practices that take into account the use of Englishes in intercultural and multicultural encounters where people have different first languages and cultural backgrounds. This book will be of interest to policymakers, curriculum developers and practitioner-researchers in the area of English language education.

This volume presents a survey of the latest results and discussions in the research on English Language Teaching (ELT), bringing together researchers from four continents and 11 different countries to discuss current topics and issues in the field. In doing so, it offers a debate in a conducive and intellectually charged environment which enables the reader to gain insights into new technologies, ideas and concepts of practitioners working at very different research and teaching institutions. The papers collected in this volume provide ample evidence of the lively atmosphere and the interesting conversations present in ELT in recent years. Much has changed in the research of ELT; the field has become more technical and applied on the one hand and more theoretically informed on the other. As such, it is a particular achievement of this volume that it enables the diverse disciplines under the umbrella of ELT to communicate and exchange their approaches. It is in this way that linguists can talk to methodologists and cultural studies scholars cooperate with literary scholars. The tripartite structure of this book reflects this. The first part is dedicated to linguistic issues and contains a number of both large-scale and micro-scale studies. The second section collects papers from the cultural and literary studies field. The concluding segment concerns new approaches in methodology and offers two very technical contributions on CLIL.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges and opportunities for both teachers and students. In many countries, online teaching was something new, never experienced before. Therefore, everyone had to start from scratch. The articles in this proceeding provide the experiences, challenges, and strategies that L2 teachers and students had during the recent emergency remote teaching. Four main themes were covered: 1) online L2 learning curriculum and materials development, 2) L2 learning and acquisition in a virtual learning environment, 3) online L2 testing, assessment, program evaluation, and 4) teacher and students’ critical reflections on online L2 teaching and learning practices. Written by L2 teachers and teacher educators, we dedicate this proceeding to all L2 teachers and teacher educators who continue trying to maintain high-quality L2 education during and post-pandemic.
