World Englishes Paperback with Audio CD by Andy Kirkpatrick
The model of English that should be used in classrooms has long been a subject of debate. World Englishes, Implications for International Communication and English Language Teaching, describes varieties of World Englishes and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of selecting a particular variety from the point of view of both teachers and learners. It aims to examine and re-evaluate concepts such as 'standard', 'variety', 'native speaker' and 'non-native speaker', and to validate the role played by multilingual and multicultural English language teachers, arguing that context and learner needs should determine the variety to be taught.Andy Kirkpatrick is known for pushing himself on some of the most difficult walls and faces in the Alps and beyond, where the risk is great but the reward is uncertain. He was born and reared in a council estate in Hull, one of the UK's flattest cities, and was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at the age of 19. Andy converted himself into one of the world's most determined and skilled climbers, as well as an award-winning writer, by thriving in the face of apparent hardship. In 2001, he completed a 12-day solo ascent of El Capitan's Reticent Wall, one of the world's most difficult solo climbs. His debut novel, Psychovertical, which won the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Writing in 2008, was based on this ascent.
His second work, Cold Wars, is his second novel. Andy and his two children live in Sheffield. Andy Kirkpatrick's website, andy-kirkpatrick.com, has further information.
