The chapters in this volume explore several focal issues related to the global spread of English and their implications for English language teaching, providing both theoretical and empirical perspectives on recent research and implications in educational terms (Part I – Developments in ELF research and pedagogic implications), teacher education and teachers’ views (Part II - Raising teachers’ awareness of ELF), as well as ELF-oriented classroom practices and testing and assessment (Part 3 - ELF and ELT practices). The volume aims at providing an up-to-date perspective on issues, implications and repercussions that findings in ELF research can have for ELT practices. The contributions from scholars and researchers who have long been engaged in ELF-related research, and who have undertaken operational and practical work in the field, aim to offer a broad picture, ranging from primary school to higher education, with novel perspectives on the issues and implications brought about by ELF research in teaching and learning English. Innovative projects in teacher education, involving pre- and in-service teachers, are also presented, providing exemplificative good practices of possible new routes into pluralistic, ELF-aware and ELF-oriented didactic perspectives.

Abstract
The chapters in this volume explore several focal issues related to the global spread of English and their implications for English language teaching, providing both theoretical and empirical perspectives on recent research and implications in educational terms (Part I – Developments in ELF research and pedagogic implications), teacher education and teachers’ views (Part II - Raising teachers’ awareness of ELF), as well as ELF-oriented classroom practices and testing and assessment (Part 3 - ELF and ELT practices). The volume aims at providing an up-to-date perspective on issues, implications and repercussions that findings in ELF research can have for ELT practices. The contributions from scholars and researchers who have long been engaged in ELF-related research, and who have undertaken operational and practical work in the field, aim to offer a broad picture, ranging from primary school to higher education, with novel perspectives on the issues and implications brought about by ELF research in teaching and learning English. Innovative projects in teacher education, involving pre- and in-service teachers, are also presented, providing exemplificative good practices of possible new routes into pluralistic, ELF-aware and ELF-oriented didactic perspectives.
