Global citizenship in the English language classroom not only provides sound theoretical frameworks for investigation but also practical findings for application in diverse segments of ELT. This ranges from university environments to public schools and from EFL to ESL contexts in several corners of the globe.
Specifically, this book brings contributions from both presenters and remote participants. Following Audrey Osler and Hugh Starkey's Citizenship and Language Learning: international perspectives, published in 2005, this collection aims at offering ideas and practical suggestions on how teachers around the world have tackled the teaching of English within a citizenship education perspective.
There are seven chapters, from authors working in different parts of the world united by the same eagerness to go beyond the development of linguistic skills in their English language classes. These texts can be broadly divided into two main categories: reports and proposals for implementation.
Under 'reports' there are five chapters that deal with courses, teaching materials, research and curriculum innovation. The two remaining contributions can be seen as proposals for implementation of a global citizenship perspective in English language classrooms.
