Extract

From the title of this book, one might expect a review of English teaching methodologies. Although teaching methods are discussed, the book actually sets out to define English as an international language (EIL), as opposed to a second or foreign language (L2), and through this lens, carefully reexamines every aspect of English teaching and learning.
