Zacharias N.T., Manara Ch. (Eds.) Contextualizing the Pedagogy of English as an International Language: Issues and Tensions

Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 2013, 205 pages, ISBN: 1443851256, 9781443851251This book is a response to the recent sociolinguistic profile of English users and uses where English is now the international language (EIL).
Traditionally, English was learned for integration into western Englishspeaking communities and thus native speakers were often positioned as
the norms and best models for English language learners. With the evolving status of English, native-speaker norms should be examined and
replaced by a paradigm that focuses on the recent English users and uses of English.
