This edited volume highlights the growing recognition of the need for a more comprehensive understanding of language shaped by local contexts. It seeks to further conceptualise Global English(es) as localised language practices. Such practices illustrate how the English language is transformed to meet the needs of diverse communities, reflecting their social, cultural, and political values. Recognising that ‘glocality’ is a unique characteristic of today’s world, this volume expands upon the previously proposed conceptualisation of English as a Glocal Language (EGL)—one that is simultaneously global and local—to capture and accommodate the whole spectrum of cultural meanings and interpretations it is capable of conveying. This book is a useful resource for researchers, applied linguists, ELT professionals and practitioners, among others.Testimonial for The Rise of English as a Glocal LanguageJennifer Jenkins, Emeritus Professor, University of Southampton UKIt is only rarely that a truly original and exciting publication appears within the broad field of the spread of English, but this edited volume is one such book. The editors and their contributors position the field not, as conventionally done, within global Englishes but within a ‘deglobalised’ glocal framework. As they demonstrate throughout, this is a far more appropriate perspective within which to explore the teaching of English around the world. The book’s raison d’être having been established in the introduction, the chapters that follow, based on new empirical research, range far across geographical contexts, and include rarely researched regions such as Pakistan and Israel/Palestine as well as original focuses, for example, composers in Latin America. Highly recommended for anyone interested in World Englishes, ELF, or ELT more widely.
