Developing students’ awareness of Global Englishes / Fan (Gabriel) Fang, Wei Ren. // ELT Journal 2018, Volume 72, No. 4

p. 384–394.

Although research on Global Englishes (GE) has demonstrated the potential for a new perspective of ELT, studies of GE in an Asian ELT context are relatively rare. As current mainstream ELT practice in China still largely emphasizes ‘native English’, university courses related to GE are scarce. This paper aims to unpack the influence of a course on English as a World Language in Chinese university students’ awareness of their own English and GE. Data were collected from students taking the optional course at a university in southeast China. After reporting the findings, the paper further discusses the pedagogical implications of integrating GE into English learning and teaching. It also argues for raising students’ GE awareness and applying critical pedagogy in ELT for GE-oriented instruction.

Incorporating Global Englishes into the ELT classroom / Nicola Galloway, Heath Rose. // ELT Journal, Volume 72, Issue 1, 16 January 2018. 72/1

p. 3–14.

Increasing students’ awareness of the globalization of English is a daunting task for teachers, especially considering the lack of globally oriented ELT materials available. This study builds on previous research in response to recent calls for more classroom-level research, and reports on the use of a student presentation task to introduce and raise awareness of Global Englishes in a Japanese English language classroom. An analysis of student reflections showed that the presentation task allowed students to select and explore Englishes salient to their experiences and interests. In researching and imparting knowledge of their chosen variety, and by listening to their classmates’ presentations, the task raised students’ awareness of variation in English, and challenged attitudes towards Englishes that differed from standard models presented in typical ELT materials in Japan. Tasks such as the one presented here provide practitioners with avenues to incorporate Global Englishes into classroom practice.
