Afterword: Towards Glocally-Oriented Future of English Language Learning and Teaching
摘要
This final chapter synthesises the key themes explored throughout the book, demonstrating how the concept of glocalisation redefines English Language Learning and Teaching (ELLT). First, it clarifies the concepts of global, local, and glocal, revisits its main themes in the context of existing literature, and explores the significance of local knowledge. Next, it proposes reconceptualising English as a glocal language, reflecting its role in expressing diverse local identities within a global framework. The volume concludes with insights into the future of English language teaching and learning, encouraging further research and dialogue among language professionals to navigate and embrace the complexities of a glocalised world.
