The chapters combine to an inspiring set of cogently argued connections between research and its applications in the real world; a world that relies as much on language as a tool for engagement as it does on a humanistic approach to solving the major challenges of our times. This is a timely and much needed appraisal of the opportunities and challenges for learners and users of English in a globalised context.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u003cb\u003eSvenja Adolphs\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, Head of School of English, University of Nottingham, UK\u003c\/p\u003e \"This book is an essential tool for any teacher who wishes to connect the study of English with the developments of global anglophone society, or who is contemplating the role of the English teacher in a diverse and transforming world.

Envisioning English as \"a diverse yet unified subject\" where the study of literature, language, and education can be pursued thematically, it constitutes part of an ongoing transformation and revitalization of English Studies. It will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in linguistics, literature and education, as well as fields normally seen as lying 'beyond' English Studies such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, urbanstudies, political science and childhood studies.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlastair Henry \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Language Education in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eÅke Persson \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of English Literatures in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45273861652631,"sku":"9783030697228","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030697228.webp?v=1769237812","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/engaging-with-work-in-english-studies-an-issue-based-approach-9783030697228","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
