Description
This book examines the increasing usage of a mixture of British and American English in the EFL context, Mid-Atlantic English. The book has three parts. The theoretical part provides extensive background information on the sociolinguistic and didactic role of British and American English in ELT. The empirical part offers a large-scale questionnaire-based study carried out with an important EFL community and UK native-speakers. It investigates participants’ linguistic Americanisation and their attitudes to the two main varieties of English. The didactic part suggests integrating a pluricentric vision into EFL settings through multiple tasks. This book shows that ELT needs rethinking because of the international Americanisation of the English language.
