The Cambridge Handbook of World Englishes
The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a global language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large number of national, regional and social forms. The global spread of English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics, pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current challenges.
Bloomsbury World Englishes Volume 3: Pedagogies
"Divided into three volumes and edited by established scholars in the field, Bloomsbury World Englishes provides critical insights into aspects of the global uses and roles of English and their implications. The Paradigms volume analyzes the ways in which we make sense of the English as a global language, its many varieties and how these come into contact and mix with other languages. Its main goal is to move the field forward and beyond existing 'models' that begin to be unfit to describe English(es) in the era of globalization. The Ideologies volume explores the politics and economics of English as well as how the language has an impact on local societies and cultures. The chapters in the volume describe how English is often entangled in societal issues such as inequality, (de-)colonization, racism, oppression, liberation. The Pedagogies volume addresses one of the most important themes in World Englishes: the teaching of English as a world language. The chapters in this volume discuss the teaching and learning of English(es) from a range of perspectives and on the basis of experiences and research from many parts of the world"--

Unlike most studies on languages in education, which take a neutral, de-contextualized stance, this volume take a pluricentric view of the English language by positioning it in relation to its varieties, as well as to other languages in the country. Because of the changing realities of English in the Philippines, traditional assumptions about the language as monolithic and unchanging, as well as about how it should be taught and learned, need to be revisited and re-conceptualized.
