In this course, we examine some of the current debates around the role and status of English in the world. We consider historical, ideological, cultural, political and economic bases for the spread of English as an international language and explore how this spread has affected the language ecologies of societies around the globe, and is related to the proliferation of world Englishes.

Attention to changing power relations, language hierarchies, and inequalities associated with the teaching, learning, and use of English.
