Teaching materials in EIL
by Aya Matsuda (2012)
Traditional practice and principles
ELT materials focused on standart varieties of English from UK and the US (
Matsuda, 2002)
they were considered "natural" variations of English
It was thought that learners should be provided real varieties of the language.
Less addressed other varieties of English to design teaching materials
The dominance of Inner Circle
(Kachru, 1985)
Practices and Principles for EIL Framework
focus on the goal of teaching English (if student is preparing to study in UK just choose British variation)
Ways to increase students` awareness of English varieties
to use pre-packaged teaching materials such as CDs
through supplemental materials created for pedagogical and non-pedagogical (e.g.,movies) purposes
The goal of EIT
to prepare students to use English to become part of the globalized world
to incorporate divercity
to represent English as dynamic and pluralistic entity
Native and non-native speakers
Graddol (1997)
states that native speakers of English might feel the language "belong" to them but they are those who speak as a second or foreign language
(p. 10)
Only second or foreign language learners can develop the future of English
(Widdowson, 1994)
The role of culture in language classes
strong bond between language and culture unconsciously or consciously
Three sources of cultural content for EIL materials
global culture
learners` own culture
the culture of the future interlocutors
Is EIL appropriate for local
contexts?
can provide meaningful and engaging classroom
students learn better when they find materials real and meaningful to themselves
(Horward, 2003)
