“…Based on Sifakis and Bayyurt's works, Cavalheiro (2015) proposed a five-stage model: preparation, identification, awareness, transformation and planning. Similarly, Pitzl's (2012) transformative model consisted of five phases: familiarising participants with core concepts, introducing descriptive ELF findings to the participants and linking them to ELT local contexts, raising awareness of ELF perspectives on ELT practices, giving the participants the opportunity to examine and practice different cooperative teaching methods and triggering reflective processes on ELF perspectives related to ELT.…”

In this study I aimed to investigate the impact of a Global Englishes for Language Teaching course on teachers’ attitudes towards teaching English as a global language. I employed an intervention research design to make a comparison between a control group and an intervention group. Forty-four Saudi preservice and inservice teachers participated in the study. The findings of the pre-questionnaire for both groups showed positive attitudes towards global perspectives on English language teaching and a slight attachment to traditional perspectives on English language teaching. The statistically significant difference between the pre-questionnaire and post-questionnaire of the intervention group showed the Global Englishes course could raise the intervention group’s appreciation of global perspectives on English language teaching and encourage a willingness to detach from traditional perspectives on English language teaching.

Research into the pedagogical implications of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) has seen important developments over the last decade, through investigation of how English Language Teaching (ELT) can, and should, respond to the challenges and issues connected to the global spread of English in terms of curricula, syllabi, materials and classroom practices. In this perspective, Language Teacher Education is a central factor to promote awareness of the necessity to respond to how English is used as a global lingua franca today, not least in terms of Language Awareness, multilingual practices and meaning negotiation through Communication Strategies. In this paper we aim at addressing aspects related to teacher awareness as to ELF, in terms of how ‘language’, ‘language teaching and learning’ and ‘language use’ are conceived within an ELF-aware perspective. We will look in particular at the role that Language Awareness, Communicative Competence especially as to its strategic dimension in pragmatic moves, and multilingual practices play in ELF, and at their relevance in raising teachers’ awareness of ELF and ELF-aware pedagogic practices. We will then examine how these aspects interrelate with the three components in Sifakis’ ELF awareness model – awareness of language and language use, awareness of instructional practices, awareness of learning – also providing exemplifications of activities that could be used in ELF-oriented Teacher Education, and in ELT practices, to foster reflection on how they can become part of English language teaching and learning.
