Teaching English Language Variation in the Global Classroom offers researchers and teachers methods for instructing students on the diversity of the English language on a global scale. A complement to Devereaux and Palmer’s Teaching Language Variation in the Classroom, this collection provides real-world, classroom-tested strategies for teaching English language variation in a variety of contexts and countries, and with a variety of language learners.
Each chapter balances theory with discussions of curriculum and lesson planning to address how to effectively teach in global classrooms with approaches based on English language variation. With lessons and examples from five continents, the volume covers recent debates on many pedagogical topics, including standardization, stereotyping, code-switching, translanguaging, translation, identity, ideology, empathy, and post-colonial and critical theoretical approaches. The array of pedagogical strategies, accessible linguistic research, clear methods, and resources provided makes it an essential volume for pre-service and in-service teachers, graduate students, and scholars in courses on TESOL, EFL, World/Global Englishes, English as a Medium of Instruction, and Applied Linguistics.

Biography
Michelle D. Devereaux is Associate Professor of English Education at Kennesaw State University, USA.
Chris C. Palmer is Professor of English at Kennesaw State University, USA.
"This is exactly the teaching resource I have been seeking for use in my courses. The book introduces imaginative pedagogical activities, situated in the theoretical orientations that inform them. It relates the World Englishes paradigm to evolving orientations in translanguaging and raciolinguistics, and brings together scholars in diverse countries to share their approaches to teaching language variation. It is an invaluable resource in courses aiming to make students aware of the global diversity of English."
-- Suresh Canagarajah, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor, Pennsylvania State University, USA
"For many years now, English teachers around the world have been able to read extensively about the spread of English and resulting variation from a theoretical perspective. Far less available, even today, is what teachers arguably need far more: the practical implications. It is this gap that Teaching English Language Variation in the Global Classroom so abundantly and admirably fills. While not at all lacking in theoretical underpinnings, it provides teachers with all-important practical ideas across an impressively wide range of settings and domains and will prove an invaluable resource."
--Jennifer Jenkins, Emeritus Professor, University of Southampton, UK
"The timing of this collection could not be better. By combining theoretically sound explorations of issues related to translanguaging, Global Englishes, and other immediately relevant language issues with practical classroom applications, the contributors provide a volume that is equally valuable to teachers, researchers, and anyone in between. As someone who works in both composition and language studies, I can see myself using ideas from this text in a First-Year Writing class as easily as I could see myself assigning it in my graduate-level World Englishes seminar. I can’t wait to put it to use!"
--Amanda Sladek, University of Nebraska-Kearney, USA
