Details innovative developments in the pragmatics and lexicogrammar of speakers using English as a lingua franca.
The Pedagogy of English As a Lingua Franca
The use of English as a lingua franca (ELF) is an especially contemporary, at times controversial global-linguistic phenomenon. In recent years ELF has emerged as a dynamic area of research, leading to considerable empirical and conceptual developents. There exists a substantial volume of empirical evidence demonstrating that ELF requires us to rethink conventional ideas about language and communication, with conceptual discussions arguing that many established precepts of linguistics and sociolinguistics are no longer entirely tenable. Many of the more influential of these discussions have also considered the implications of ELF for English language teaching (ELT), but with relatively littl...

Saving Schools
Saving Schools traces the story of the rise, decline, and potential resurrection of American public schools through the lives and ideas of six mission-driven reformers: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Shanker, William Bennett, and James Coleman. Yet schools did not become the efficient, egalitarian, and high-quality educational institutions these reformers envisioned.
