Abstract

Abstract The global diffusion of the English language represents two dimensions of the language: one ofmulticanonicityand the other ofmulticulturalism. These two constructs of what is called a global language have yet to be seriously recognized by the English‐language teaching (ELT) profession. The reasons for this attitude are essentially ideological, economic and, of course, attitudinal. This ominous indifference is sustained and encouraged within what Susan Butler has characterized as “the ESL Empire” (Butler, 1997).
