[Edling] New Book/Free Download: Teaching English as an International Language (Selvi, Galloway and Rose)

[Ali Fuad Selvi via Edling]

Dear EdLing members,

I am delighted to let you know that our new book, *Teaching English as an
International Language*, co-authored with two brilliant scholars, *Nicola
Galloway* (Glasgow) and *Heath Rose* (Oxford), has just been published as
part of the Elements in Language Teaching series by Cambridge University
Press
<https://www.cambridge.org/core/publications/elements/language-teaching>.

*Summary* This Element offers a comprehensive account of the unprecedented
spread of English as a global language by taking historical,
sociolinguistic, and pedagogical perspectives. To realize this mission, it
opens with an accessible discussion of the historical trajectory of the
English language with qualitative and quantitative connections to its
contemporary diversity in terms of forms, roles, functions, uses, users,
and contexts of English as a global and multilingual franca. Built upon
this synchronic-diachronic symbiosis, the discussion is complemented by an
overview of major analytical paradigms and trends that promote systematical
scrutiny of the English language and its sociolinguistic and educational
implications. It ends by showcasing instructional practices,
recommendations, reflective questions, and future directions for language
educators to revamp their beliefs, commitments, and practices considering
the changing needs and realities of the present-day global sociolinguistic
ecology and individuals therein.

The book is *available for download until January 5, 2024:*
https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108902755

We hope you find it relevant, interesting, and useful... Please consider
sharing it with your interested colleagues and students in your networks.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year ahead!

Warm regards, Ali Fuad Selvi
