Construction of English

Discover the intricate relationship between language and culture in "Construction of English" by J. Gray. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2010, this insightful paperback spans 218 pages and delves into the world of English Language Teaching (ELT) global coursebooks. Gray presents a compelling argument that these coursebooks are not merely educational tools but also cultural artifacts that shape the way English is perceived and understood. By examining how the textual construction and imaging of English mirror broader processes of commodity promotion, this book invites readers to rethink the role of language in a global context. Ideal for educators, linguists, and anyone interested in the cultural dimensions of language, "Construction of English" is a must-read for those looking to deepen their understanding of English as a global language.
