The Struggle to Teach English as an International Language

This book is about the worlds and conflicts of TESOL teachers and researchers whose professional lives are both enriched and problematized by the cultural and political interfaces created by working with an international language. Central to this discussion is the balance of power in classroom and curriculum settings, the relationship between language, culture, and discourse, and the change in the ownership of English. The readers will be students in Applied Linguistics, researchers, teachers of ESOL, and academics.
