ReferencesReviewsWhat has plagued the notion of authenticity to date has been an alphabet soup of abstract terms and simplistic references that attempt to define what it is and why it is important in L2 teaching and learning. In compelling personal voice, Pinner masterfully unpacks the complexities of authenticity while re-positioning it on a continuum that is inclusive of global Englishes and relative to individuals selves and perceived position in rapidly changing societies. - Karen E. Johnson, The Pennsylvania State University, USA What has plagued the notion of authenticity to date has been an 'alphabet soup' of abstract terms and simplistic references that attempt to define what it is and why it is important in L2 teaching and learning. In a compelling personal voice, Pinner masterfully unpacks the complexities of authenticity while re-positioning it on a continuum that is inclusive of global Englishes and relative to individuals' selves and perceived position in rapidly changing societies. Karen E. Johnson, The Pennsylvania State University, USA This wide-ranging book offers a timely reassessment and reassertion of the notion of authenticity in English language education, decisively unshackling it from its 'classic' mooring in native-speaker models. Richard Pinner convincingly argues that authenticity - viewed as relevant to the socially dynamic contexts within which people are learning and using English today - is a more important goal for educators than ever before.
