About this ebook
This book employs the realm of English Language Teaching (ELT) as a discursive point of departure to explore how individuals, groups, entities and institutions apprehend, embrace, deal with, manipulate, problematize and resist glocal flows of people, ideas, information, goods, and technology. It apprehends and attends to tensions arising from the fluidly local-global construction and negotiation of borders of identity and interaction within a diverse array of contexts and English education therein. These tensions, whether conceptual or pedagogical, may arise in and through governmental and institutional policymaking, teacher training, or curriculum and materials development, and in the learning experience both within and beyond the classroom, as teachers and students engage with course content and each other.

Nathanael Rudolph (PhD, University of Maryland) is an Associate Professor of TESOL and Applied Linguistics in the Department of English at Mukogawa Women’s University, in Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan. In and through his research and teaching, Nathanael advocates contextualized education that critically and practically accounts for and celebrates hybridity and diversity, in terms of identity and interaction.
