[Edling] Contemporary Social Issues in English Teaching

[Francis Hult]

Contemporary Social Issues in English Teaching


This collection of essays, with the theme Contemporary Social Issues in English Teaching, follows in the spirit of the Swedish national syllabus for English by presenting specific ways in which the subject of English can open 'new perspectives on the surrounding world', globally and locally.


The essays, written by pre-service English teachers in the teacher education program at Lund University, emerged from a course on educational sociolinguistics.  Building on the notion of research-based practice<https://www.skolverket.se/skolutveckling/forskning/forskningsbaserat-arbetssatt> advocated by the Swedish National Agency for Education, the authors review current research from scholarly journals and books in order to explore issues of diversity relevant for English teachers, including diversity among students, among teachers, and in the English language itself.  We share them here with the hope that research in the field of educational sociolinguistics will inform and inspire creative and socially responsible English teaching:
