About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the possibilities of designing, implementing, and evaluating an English language teaching programme based on research in English as a lingua franca (ELF). Drawing on the editors' and authors’ experiences in applying ELF research to pedagogy within a university setting, the book challenges epistemological and institutional structures that position discrete constructs of the English language as central in pedagogy.
