The articles collected in this volume originate from papers presented at a
conference held from 22-24 June 1998 at the Technische Universität Braunschweig
on the topic of "Teaching and Learning English as a Global Language. Native and
Non-Native Perspectives". It was hoped that the mixture of participants (native
and non-native researchers of various academic, national and professional
backgrounds) would form a good basis with which to find out more about the
rapidly increasing role of English as a global means of communication and the
possible implications of this development for language and educational policies.
Thus, the main aims of the conference were to analyse the role of English as a
global means of communication and to develop research perspectives for the
teaching and learning of English as a global language. In order to provide a
general, in a wider sense intercultural platform, the conference addressed
sociolinguistic and language policy issues (eg "linguistic imperialism") as well
as questions relating to the mutual intelligibility of the many varieties of
English and "Englishes". However, most of the papers concentrated on the impact
that the global role English has or should have on the major elements of foreign
language teaching and learning, ie language and culture, teachers, learners ,
learning objectives, methods and media as well as on teacher
education. |
