Abstract

ABSTRACT: Driven by a growing body of research on Global Englishes (GE) in English language education, this article showcases the integration of GE into language materials. The goal of the article is to propose a practical way of designing GE-based language materials from a critical ecological perspective. First, we discuss the recontextualization of GE in designing English language materials. Then, we present a critical ecological framework for designing GE-based language materials. Finally, we discuss the principles of designing GE-oriented English language teaching (ELT) materials. We conclude by reframing ELT materials in the post-Kachruvian circle context where English is seen as an interculturally globalized lingua franca.
