What are Global Englishes?

What are Global Englishes? by Eleanor Kane Hinohara

What Are Global Englishes? is a comprehensive guide to the global development of English. Adopting a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach, this book offers a seamless progression from foundational lower order thinking skills (LOTS) to advanced higher order thinking skills (HOTS).

Each of the 15 units blends communicative and receptive tasks, focusing on the New Academic Word List (NAWL), essential vocabulary, and academic language skills. With practical pair-work discussions, scaffolded writing exercises, and interactive interview tasks, learners gain real-world English proficiency.

The highly relevant topics in What Are Global Englishes? include the history and evolution of English focussing on nine global varieties, its role in advertising, and a glance into the future. Authentic listening tasks showcase proficient speakers from diverse linguistic backgrounds, reflecting how English is truly used worldwide—not just by so-called “native speakers.”
