Abstract

In this study I aimed to investigate the impact of a Global Englishes for Language Teaching course on teachers’ attitudes towards teaching English as a global language. I employed an intervention research design to make a comparison between a control group and an intervention group. Forty-four Saudi preservice and inservice teachers participated in the study. The findings of the pre-questionnaire for both groups showed positive attitudes towards global perspectives on English language teaching and a slight attachment to traditional perspectives on English language teaching. The statistically significant difference between the pre-questionnaire and post-questionnaire of the intervention group showed the Global Englishes course could raise the intervention group’s appreciation of global perspectives on English language teaching and encourage a willingness to detach from traditional perspectives on English language teaching.
