HOW TO INCORPORATE WORLD ENGLISHES IN THE CLASSROOM?

 

[1]    How to teach World Englishes? There is not a single definite answer to this question, as there is no “one 
size fits all” approach for incorporating the different varieties of English in the classroom. However, generally, 
teachers can take a World Englishes approach in their lessons by working to pluralize students’ perceptions. This 
can be accomplished, for example, by accepting cultural, rhetorical, and stylistic variations as well as by treating 
[5] students fairly when they use different English varieties in the classroom. Matsuda and Matsuda (2010) offer 
five principles that can guide teachers to incorporate World Englishes in a writing classroom: 

       • Teach the dominant language forms and functions. 
       • Teach the non-dominant language forms and functions. 
       • Teach the boundary between what works and what does not. 
[10] • Teach the principles and strategies of discourse negotiation. 
       • Teach the risks involved in using deviational features. 

    The other strategy Matsuda and Matsuda mention is teacher collaboration. This focuses on designing 
opportunities for students to interact in socially-diverse activities and reflect deeply on their communication 
experiences. It also requires teachers to identify key concepts students can use to make sense of the complex 
[15] communication experiences in their specific contexts.
