DescriptionEnglish as an international language is a new, timely, and innovative discipline that offers a new perspective of the use of English in today's globalised world and examines the implications this has on communication in English in a variety of international contexts. It invites students to challenge and 'unpack' assumptions about English language by responding to questions such as: Is there only one type of English or many Englishes spoken in the world? Should we accept one single type of English as the only model for learners and teachers of English? What are the consequences of the spread of English around the globe? What are the features of international/intercultural communication in English? One of the important features of the studies offered in this program is that students are encouraged to critically reflect and look back on their experiences of using, learning, and/or teaching English in a variety of contexts and uncover the 'hidden politics' behind those experiences.
