  • Description: Paperback US$34.97, ISBN: 9781783097029 The increase in research in English as an International Language (EIL), World Englishes (WE) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) demands a paradigm shift in English Language Teaching (ELT) among scholars. Aya Matsuda intelligently brings together this volume under review which comprises six parts, including 15 chapters, examining theoretical frameworks, programs, courses and units, model lessons, activities and tasks for ELT teacher education from the perspective of EIL with the purpose of offering approaches to preparing in-service and pre-service teachers to meet the diverse needs of English learners today. Based on an analysis of the current global spread of English and the EIL construct, Bayyurt and Sifakis (p. 3) propose a three-phase plan, namely phase A, exposure; phase B, critical awareness; and phase C, action plan, which focuses on ‘preparing TESOL teachers to grow into more autonomous, independent, critical EIL teaching practitioners who are capable of integrating EIL issues in their teaching’ (p. 8).
