English as a Lingua Franca in the Language Classroom: Applying Theory to ELT Practice

Offers the first language teacher-oriented theoretical and practical introduction to understanding the role of ELF in ELT and how to implement ELF lessons in a nitty gritty way in the language classroom, via research specialists as well as practicing language teachers. It also uniquely presents a critical problem-solving approach to language teaching.
Supports English language teachers to make informed decisions about changes to make in their practice so as to better prepare English language learners/students for the reality of English language use in today's world.
The first book to bridge theory and practice, clearly and carefully, on ELF pedagogy for ELT professionals. To this point, works have been geared to researchers in this area but not teachers themselves for their own curriculum and professional development. This book remedies this and offers a unique new resource, providing teachers with the nuts and bolts of practical aspects of ELF for teaching practice.
