Teacher Education for Global Englishes Language Teaching
This book presents a model of transformative, empowering and critically oriented language teacher education to prepare English teachers to implement Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT). GELT’s importance to learners’ needs for communication in the globalized world means that it receives tremendous interest from language teacher educators worldwide, underlining the risks posed by gaps in teachers’ knowledge of how to implement it.This book fills in those gaps, with accessible theoretical foundations and practical examples drawn from the successful work of the M.Ed. in Teaching English as a Global Language (TEGL) at Burapha University, Thailand. Through critically oriented frameworks, the TEGL program equips in-service English teachers with a critical lens to examine their current practices, challenge the sociocultural and educational backgrounds that teachers bring into teacher education, and empower them in transforming their classroom practices to correspond with the GELT paradigm. The book highlights how the global spread of English impacts language teacher education, discusses the theoretical foundations underlying the design of teacher education for GELT, addresses the knowledge base for preparing teachers to use GELT and examines the applications of teacher education for GELT.It is vital reading for graduate students, teacher educators, and researchers in language teacher education and beyond.

Why is English the global language?
English has become the global language primarily due to the historical influence of the British Empire and the United States as global superpowers. The widespread use of English in international business, diplomacy, and technology has further solidified its status as a global language. Additionally, English is relatively easy to learn compared to other languages, making it accessible to a wide range of people around the world. The dominance of English in media, entertainment, and the internet has also played a significant role in its global spread.

What is the third global language?
The third global language is Spanish. It is spoken by over 460 million people worldwide and is an official language in 21 countries. Spanish is also one of the six official languages of the United Nations. Its influence is growing due to the increasing number of Spanish speakers in the United States and the growing importance of Latin American countries in the global economy.
-
Why is there no global language?
There is no global language because language is deeply tied to culture, history, and identity. Different regions and communities have developed their own languages over time, and these languages are an integral part of their heritage. Additionally, the diversity of languages reflects the diversity of human experiences and perspectives. Attempts to impose a single global language would undermine this rich linguistic and cultural diversity. Instead, embracing and preserving the multitude of languages spoken around the world can help foster understanding and appreciation for different cultures.

Would sign language be the better global language?
While sign language is a visual and expressive form of communication that can be beneficial for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, it may not necessarily be the best global language. Sign languages vary across different countries and regions, making it challenging to establish a universal sign language that everyone can understand. Additionally, spoken languages are more widely used and understood globally, making them more practical for communication on a larger scale. However, promoting the use and recognition of sign language alongside spoken languages can help create a more inclusive and accessible society for all individuals.
-
When will another language replace the global language English?
It is difficult to predict when another language will replace English as the global language, as English has become deeply entrenched in various aspects of global communication, business, and culture. However, with the rise of countries like China and the increasing importance of Mandarin Chinese, some experts suggest that Chinese could potentially challenge English in the future. Nevertheless, the dominance of English is likely to persist for the foreseeable future due to its widespread use and acceptance worldwide.

Will German become the new global language?
It is unlikely that German will become the new global language. English is currently the dominant global language, widely used in business, science, and popular culture. While German is an important language in Europe and has a strong cultural and economic influence, it is not as widely spoken or taught as English. Additionally, the trend of English as the global language shows no signs of changing in the near future.
