{"product_id":"9781783095667","title":"Reconceptualising Authenticity for English as a Global Language (Second Language Acquisition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the concept of authentic English in today’s world, where cultures are in constant interaction and the English language works as a binding agent for many cross-cultural exchanges. It offers a comprehensive review of decades of debate around authenticity in language teaching and learning and attempts to synthesise the complexities by presenting them as a continuum. This continuum builds on the work of eminent scholars and combines them within a flexible framework that celebrates the process of interaction whilst acknowledging the complexity and individual subjectivity of authenticity. Authenticity is approached as a complex dynamic construct that can only be understood by examining it from social, individual and contextual dimensions, in relation to actual people. Authenticity is a problem not just for language acquisition but one which affects us as individuals belonging to society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multilingual Matters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49770766303480,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":89.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781783095667-1.jpg?v=1783741527","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781783095667","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
