The global spread of English has had widespread linguistic, social,
and cultural implications, affecting the lives of millions of people
around the world. This textbook provides a lively and accessible

as diverse as America, the Caribbean, Australia, Africa, and Asia, and
setting them within their historical and social contexts. Students are
guided through the material with chapter summaries, discussion
questions and exercises, and a comprehensive glossary, helping them to
understand different varieties of English. The second edition is
substantially updated, including new sections on English as a Lingua
Franca, blurring boundaries, and research methods and resources. The
book is accompanied by a useful website, containing textual and audio
examples of the varieties introduced in the text. Providing essential
knowledge and skills for those embarking on the study of world
Englishes, this is a timely update of the leading introduction to the
subject.
