Abstract

Given the essential status of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in applied linguistics (AL), ELF and Applied Linguistics—Reconsidering Applied Linguistics Research from ELF Perspectives calls for a radical reappraisal of the principles and practices of English language education in the current globalized world. Written by some of the leading figures in the field, this edited volume examines the impact of ELF on applied linguistics to encourage an open and reasoned debate.
