No other book brings such a range of international ELT professionals together to describe and narrate what they know best.The book includes chapters from Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Turkey. All chapters follow a consistent pattern, describing first the history of English language teaching in a particular country, then the current ELT curriculum, followed by the biography or the autobiography of an English teacher of that country. This consistency in the structuring of chapters will enable readers to assimilate the information easily while also comparing and contrasting the context of ELT in each country.The chapter authors--all born in or residents of the countries they represent and speakers of the local language or languages as well as English--provide insider perspectives on the challenges faced by local English language teachers. There is clear evidence that the majority of English teachers worldwide are nonnative speakers (NNS), and there is no doubt that many among them have been taught by indigenous teachers who themselves are nonnative speakers. This book brings the professional knowledge and experience of these teachers and the countries they represent to a mainstream Western audience including faculty, professionals, and graduate students in the field of ESL; to the international TESOL community; and to ELT teachers around the world.English languageStudy and teachingForeign speakersEnglish languageStudy and teachingForeign countriesElectronic books.English languageStudy and teachingForeign speakers.English languageStudy and teaching428/.0071Braine George961399MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453064903321Teaching English to the world2485284UNINA05192oam 2200733I 450 991046221890332120200520144314.01-283-71098-60-203-10826-41-136-26534-110.4324/9780203108260 (CKB)2670000000269424(EBL)1047067(OCoLC)818866340(SSID)ssj0000796080(PQKBManifestationID)11425140(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000796080(PQKBWorkID)10787868(PQKB)10577233(MiAaPQ)EBC1047067(Au-PeEL)EBL1047067(CaPaEBR)ebr10617553(CaONFJC)MIL402348(OCoLC)820819471(EXLCZ)99267000000026942420180706e20121995 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLimitations on the business of banking an analysis of expanded securities, insurance, and real estate activities /R.
