Abstract:

In applied linguistics, being explicit about ontologies of English, and how
they underpin educational ideologies and professional practices, is essential.
For the first time, this volume presents a critical examination of the ways in
which English is conceptualised for learning, teaching, and assessment, from
both social and cognitive perspectives. Written by a team of leading scholars,
it considers the language in a range of contexts and domains, including:
models and targets for EFL, ESL and EAL teaching and testing, and the
contested dominance of native-speaker 'standard' varieties; English as a
school subject, using England's educational system as an example; English as a
lingua franca, where typically several languages and cultures are in contact;
and English as broader social practice in a world characterised by
unprecedented mobility and destabilisation. Readers are provided with a
balanced set of perspectives on ontologies of English and a valuable resource
for educational research and practice.
