The widespread use of English as an International Language has given rise to questions such as what counts as 'Standard English' and 'literacy'. This book provides a scholarly and research-based discussion on how English in education can be (re)conceptualized and understood in light of the dynamic and changing nature of English.

In this volume a range of authors from different international contexts argue that the notion of communicative competence in English, hitherto largely referenced to metropolitan native-speaker norms, has to be expanded to take account of diverse contexts of use for a variety of purposes. It also discusses the popular belief that language and literacy should simply be regarded as a technical ''skill'' which confers universal benefits and that it should be replaced with a social practice view that recognises situated variations and diversity. This volume, we believe, provides a reference point for extended research and practice in these areas that will be of interest to wide range of people engaged in language and literacy education.
