What is "English"?

 

Do you teach in a bilingual school? Are you sure? What is bilingual? Is your school "bilingual" if you offer EFL examinations (Flyers, B2 First, TOEFL, Trinity)?

What about EMI? Immersion? E1L, E2L (aka "ESL"), EFL? 

Why do so many programmes call themselves ESL? Are they? Are there structural differences EFL : E2L : E1L? Methodological? What about methodologies? Evaluation? Materials?

Did Shakespeare write in Old English, Middle English or Modern English? 

What is "English"? Or "Englishes"?

How is any of this important?

Join us in this one-hour interactive seminar as we consider the problem of "English".
