This book explores the interfaces of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy. It presents the theoretical aspects of ELF, discusses issues and challenges that ELF raises for the EFL classroom, and demonstrates how EFL practitioners can make use of ELF theorizing for classroom instruction, teacher education, developing language learning materials, policymaking and testing and assessment. Accounts of innovative and practical pedagogical practices and researchers' insights from diverse geographical, cultural and institutional contexts will inform and inspire EFL practitioners to reconsider their practices and adopt new techniques in order to meet their learners' diverse communicative needs in international contexts.

Industry Reviews

[This book] constitutes an invaluable source of ideas for practicing EFL teachers at any level who wish to go a step further in their approach to English in their classrooms in my opinion. Furthermore, its critical, practical, innovative and social constructivist perspective make it an effective tool to open the reader's mind. In short, English as a Lingua Franca for EFL Contexts is a book that is worth the attention of anyone involved in the teaching of English as a foreign language.
