111 RON
Teaching English as a Lingua Franca is an authoritative analysis of why and how English is used as an international language - and an argument for teaching it differently. It is the result of both academic investigation and practical experience but above all of the conviction that a change is necessary. The authors reformulate EFL English as a Foreign Language as ELF English as a Lingua Franca - the way language is now used and will be used in the future - hoping to effect a serious shift in our pedagogy and practice. The book aims to help teachers understand the concept of English as a Lingua Franca help learners to operate as users of English as a global language provide opportunities to move towards a new approach to ELT.
