Description

The concept of authenticity in English as a global language is complex and multifaceted. This book offers a comprehensive review of decades of debate around authenticity in language teaching and learning, synthesising the complexities into a flexible framework that celebrates interaction while acknowledging individual subjectivity. Authenticity is approached as a dynamic construct that can only be understood by examining it from social, individual, and contextual dimensions, in relation to actual people. The author examines how this concept affects us as individuals belonging to society, making it a relevant issue not just for language acquisition but also for our everyday lives. By exploring the complexities of authenticity, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of English as a global language and its role in cross-cultural exchanges.
