Description

This module deals with English in diverse world contexts. It provides a theoretical background to the global spread of English from the perspectives of globalization theory, postcolonial theory and the politics and political economy of English as a global language. It examines English as an international language and as a lingua franca, and explores different regions of the world with regard to the historical effects of English in these contexts, mainly through weekly readings from academic journals and books. Regions covered include East Asia, South Asia, Africa and South America. Students taking this module can expect critical engagement in discussions about the role, dominance and diversity of English in the world today. Sessions will be organised around a combination of lectures and group discussions. The module is assessed by a 5000 word written assignment.
