MODELS OF TEACHING ENGLISH IN VARIOUS NATIONAL CONTEXTS

Abstract

The global spread of English has led to diverse approaches in English
language teaching (ELT), shaped by sociopolitical, economic, cultural, and
educational contexts unique to each nation. This paper explores various models of
teaching English adopted in different national settings, examining how local needs
and global trends influence curriculum design, instructional methods, teacher
training, and assessment practices. By comparing models from countries where
English is a first language, a second language, or a foreign language, the study
highlights the interplay between language policy, identity, and pedagogy. The
paper aims to provide insights into effective and context-sensitive English teaching
practices, offering implications for educators, policymakers, and curriculum
developers worldwide.
