TO U SE T H IS BOOK The Routledge English Language Introductions are ‘flexi-texts’ that you can use to suit your own style of study The books are divided into four sections: A B C D Introduction – sets out the key concepts for the area of study The units of this section take you step by step through the foundational terms and ideas, carefully providing you with an initial toolkit for your own study By the end of the section, you will have a good overview of the whole field Development – adds to your knowledge and builds on the key ideas already introduced Units in this section might also draw together several areas of interest By the end of this section, you will already have a good and fairly detailed grasp of the field, and will be ready to undertake your own exploration and thinking Exploration – provides examples of language data and guides you through your own investigation of the field The units in this section will be more open-ended and exploratory, and you will be encouraged to try out your ideas and think for yourself, using your newly acquired knowledge Extension – offers you the chance to compare your expertise with key readings in the area These are taken from the work of important writers, and are provided with guidance and questions for your further thought You can read this book like a traditional textbook, ‘vertically’ straight through from beginning to end This will take you comprehensively through the broad field of study However, the Routledge English Language Introductions have been carefully designed so that you can read them in another dimension, ‘horizontally’ across the numbered units For example, Units A1, A2, A3, and so on, correspond with Units B1, B2, B3, and with Units C1, C2, C3 and D1, D2, D3, and so on Reading A5, B5, C5, D5 will take you rapidly from the key concepts of a specific area, to a level of expertise in that precise area, all with a very close focus You can match your way of reading with the best way that you work The Glossarial Index at the end, together with the suggestions for Further Reading that follow Section D, will help to keep you orientated Each textbook in the series has a supporting website with extra commentary, suggestions, additional material, and support for teachers and students Global Englishes Global Englishes has eight units, each following the above four-part structure Section A’s units introduce the key topics in Global Englishes from the sixteenth century to the present time and beyond Section B develops these issues with additional detail and discussion Section C offers opportunities for further study and your own research vi HOW TO U S E T H I S B OO K by following the latest works and controversies in the field Finally, the readings in Section D take up the themes of each of the other three units in their respective section, and are accompanied by suggestions for further study and discussion The eight horizontal strands begin with the historical, social and political context (in units A1, B1, C1, and D1) Strand explores the debates about English today; strand looks at English in the Anglophone world; strand investigates variation across the postcolonial Englishes; strand turns to pidgin and creole languages; strand focuses on English as an international lingua franca; strand takes a closer look at East Asian and European Englishes; and the final strand looks to the future of Englishes in the global context Further material and activities can also be found on the website which accompanies the book: www.routledge.com/cw/jenkins
