This section would be most useful to university lecturers who teach applied linguistics, as well as those studying English as a second language who would like to go beyond Inner Circle Englishes. These 20 lectures are best suited for junior and senior students in linguistics or literature departments. The first 4 lectures, however, do review key sociolinguistic and linguistic terminology learned in freshman and sophomore linguistics courses. Each topic consists of 2 lectures, with 1 lecture being a 90-minute lesson. These are interactive slide presentations that allow students time to complete worksheets and to discuss themes. The lectures look at how English became a global language and how it evolved into different varieties. Lectures 1 to 4  investigate the relationship between the functions of language: communication, identity and culture. They cover issues, such as the spread of English throughout the world, the ownership of English, and linguistic prejudices. Lectures 5 to 20 analyze the differences and similarities among World Englishes, which includes inner, outer and expanding circle varieties. The textbook used in this course is Andy Kirkpatrick's World Englishes: Implications for International Communication and English Language Teaching.
