By taking a global perspective on teaching English, this work takes into account a wide variety of challenges English teachers face and stresses the importance of networking and communicating with colleagues around the world as a means of overcoming those challenges. A richly differentiated view on what it means to be an English teacher is offered, as are fascinating narratives about the diverse efforts of teachers in different communities. Points of view from contributors in North America, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, New Guinea, South Africa, and the United Kingdom are expressed and placed in an illuminating context with practical and theoretical considerations about teaching English.

New Zealand has been a veritable “laboratory” for a range of social experiments in the last twenty years, including an arranged marriage with neo-liberal economic policies during the late 80s and 90s. These experiments extended to education, where students, teachers, teacher educators and researchers have experienced wide-ranging “reforms” in administration, curriculum and qualifications. The most contentious of these have been a series of untrialled and radical qualifications reforms. This book offers a critical examination of these reforms from the perspective of a group of educators who resisted them by doing the unthinkable: devising their own national qualification and making it work.
