Description

This book examines ways to understand the cultural and political implications of the spread of the English language. It explains how English has developed as an international language by examining its colonial origins, the connections to linguistics and applied linguistics and the relationship to the global spread of teaching practices. It offers a critical approach, developing an alternative understanding of English, suggesting that it can never be removed from the social, cultural, economic or political contexts in which it is used.
