THE EMERGENCE OF WORLD ENGLISHES: IMPLICATIONS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, we cast to light how English has acquired the international status in the world, and how the phenomenal spread of English in the world brings about new Englishes that are widely used to serve non-native speakers’ various communicative purposes. We critique that the traditional English language teaching (native-speakerbased) paradigm does not gear learners towards the messier world of English in the global context. Given the changing profiles of English, there is a need for English language teaching professionals to address the notion of English as an international language in classroom pedagogy. We end this paper by reviewing pedagogical guidelines that are believed to be necessary for global English language education and for language learners in Thailand who primarilyuse English as a lingua franca to interact with speakers from different first language and cultural backgrounds in their daily lives.
