Highly acclaimed scholars in the field of (applied) linguistics, bringing their expertise from the core areas of general linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, educational linguistics, and stylistics, address the ways in which English language varies in different contexts. The contributions carefully examine the variations, the complexities and the concerns arising thereof, and explore the resultant pedagogical implications. The volume, in this respect, contributes to an informed process for policy decisions, curriculum design, material development, and most importantly classroom practices based on the ability, feasibility and desirability of English for the users, as a step towards nurturing globally-minded, globally-competent, and globally-functioning individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking the deliberations through and beyond Kachru’s world Englishes model of three circles, this book is an attempt to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee what the users of English ‘do’ or ‘do not do’ with the language, rather than ‘where’ they come from\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a flexible mindset to enable acceptance and respect for linguistic variations in English usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromote practical abilities for language and ‘communication management’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacilitate informed pedagogical practices based on global realities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e                 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-09-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030522247\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-52225-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 340\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587157450892,"sku":"9783030522247","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030522247.jpg?v=1775051122","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030522247","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
