ELF-Aware In-Service Teacher Education: A Transformative Perspective

  • Chapter
International Perspectives on English as a Lingua Franca

Part of the book series: International Perspectives on English Language Teaching ((INPELT))

Abstract

Recent work in the field of English as a Lingua Franca (henceforth ELF) has been focused on defining, delineating, and clarifying the nature of ELF. While some work has addressed issues of teacher education and training (see below for a review), we have yet to see a comprehensive proposal that aims both to educate English as a Foreign Language (henceforth EFL) or English as a Second Language (henceforth ESL) teachers about ELF and to engage them in developing, teaching, and evaluating ELF-aware lessons in their own teaching context.
