The Routledge Handbook of Teaching English as an International Language

Abstract

English language teaching at local, national, and international levels is a form of political action in which differential access to power shapes the possibilities and realities for how English is taught and learned and how this teaching and learning is experienced by those involved. This chapter considers the nature of power and how it is related to values and ideologies and some of the main ideologies that shape the contemporary field of English language teaching. It focuses on four main ideological constructs: neoliberalism, native-speakerism, linguistic habitus, and coloniality.
