"First Choice" ist handlungsorientiert: Schülerinnen und Schüler lernen Englisch durch aktives und entdeckendes Lernen. Sie führen zum Beispiel Experimente durch, sortieren Tiere nach verschiedenen Kriterien oder bringen Bilder von Geschichten in die richtige Reihenfolge. Sprachliche Mittel werden dann eingeführt, wenn das Thema es verlangt und wenn sie von den Lernenden direkt angewendet werden können.

"First Choice" unterstützt die Entwicklung aller vier Sprachfertigkeiten (Hören, Lesen, Sprechen und Schreiben). Die Schülerinnen und Schüler werden über das Hören an die Sprache herangeführt, sprechen eingeführte Wörter und Satzstrukturen nach und wenden sie handelnd in verschiedenen Situationen an. Lesen und Schreiben (meist Abschreiben) unterstützen den Spracherwerbsprozess.

Als kompetenzorientiertes Lehrmittel ist "First Choice" kompatibel mit dem Lehrplan 21.

English Profile helps teachers and educationalists understand what the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) means for English. It describes what aspects of English are typically learned at each CEFR level. This tells teachers, curriculum developers, course-book authors and test writers what is suitable for learning at each level.

This site contains a wealth of information about English Profile, including two innovative online tools: English Vocabulary Profile Online and English Grammar Profile Online. These are searchable databases that give you free access to the research findings on what English vocabulary and grammar is suitable for teaching at each CEFR level.

This work has been carried out as part of a ground-breaking collaborative project - supported by the Council of Europe. It collected data from learners all over the world to inform the research. The research was led by two departments of the University of Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press and Cambridge English Language Assessment. The outcomes of the research are referred to as Reference Level Descriptions (RLDs) for English. Click here for more information on RLDs.

Beyond for Switzerland

Learn BEYOND. Teach BEYOND. Go BEYOND.

Beyond for Switzerland is a 4-level course for teenagers based on a detailed mapping onto the Swiss Lehrplan 21 as well as the CEFR and international exams. Beyond's unique combination of language skills, life skills and a modern digital learning environment prepares students for success in the 21st century classroom and beyond.

Secondary teaching is a rewarding but demanding profession. With this course we have aimed to make your role as a teacher as easy as possible, with material that is clearly organised and can be taught with littlle or no preparation time. We have also provided resources to help you with mixed-ability clases, test and evaluate progress and review material.
Having enthusiastic students also makes the teaching role easier, so we made sure that the material has a creative and dynamic approach to topics which motivates students and makes language learning more meaningful and successful. Beyond provides constant opportunities for students to express themselves, while the pages are brought to life through a series of specially produced videos. Throughout the course, language and competencies are recycled and reviewed, allowing students to Access and consolidate their progress.

The Student's Book offers 10 topic-based units and 5 additional projects. Striking images, real life tasks, lots of audio recordings and two different strands of videos per unit add dynamism, richness and variety to the material. After every two units there is a skilled-based Progress Check to consolidate the competencies covered in the previous units and to familiarise them with official English exam-style tasks.

The Workbook exercises re-contextualise, review and recycle the target language and competencies from the corresponding lesson pages of the Student's Book and offer comprehensive practice for homework and class use. Exercises are graded into 3 different difficulty levels to help with differentiation in the classroom.

Via a code in the Workbook, students can access the Beyond Student's App that provides them with extra exposure to the target language and opportunities for class preparation or consolidation. On mobile and tablet devices students can use the App in class, at home or on-the-go.

Research interests

My main research interests are in Global Englishes in general, and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in particular. Earlier projects included investigations into intelligibility and accommodation in English lingua franca communication (see 2000 monograph), and attitudes and identities towards and among ELF users (see 2007 monograph). Since then my research interest has turned to English language policy in higher education, and the implications of the spread of English and use of ELF for international and home students in both British universities and English medium universities in Europe and East Asia. Part of this research has been conducted in collaboration with Felix Maringe (University of Witswatersrand, South Africa), part with Ursula Wingate (King's College London), and part independently (see 2014 monograph). I am currently co-directing a 3-year cross university project together with Prof Anna Mauranen (University of Helsinki), which is exploring orientations to English language use across several universities in the UK, Europe, and East Asia. I am also working with colleagues at King's College London on an alternative to current university English language entry tests.

Last collaborative research project

Leader of LINEE Work Package 7a: Learning, use and perceptions of English as a Lingua Franca communication in European contexts This collaborative project with partners in Southampton, Szeged and Prague formed part of the wider LINEE network funded under the EU 6th Framework (Languages in a Network of European Excellence). The team conducted research into the acquisition of ELF and its use in conversational settings, and into European non-native and native English speakers' perceptions of effective ELF communication. The research enabled us to draw conclusions about English language learning and teaching in multilingual environments, about perceived links between effective communication and correctness according to native-speaker English norms, about the awareness of/value placed on communication skills such as accommodation and code-switching, and about native English speakers' ability to communicate in European ELF settings.

Conference and Research Group organisation

Organiser of the Centre for Global Englishes PhD conference, 'Global Englishes', Southampton, June 2016.

Co-organiser of the 2009 2nd International English as a Lingua Franca Conference Director of the Centre for Global Englishes (CGE), which was established in 2010. It produces and disseminates research on the linguistic and sociocultural dimensions of global uses and users of English (Global Englishes), and on English as a Lingua Franca in particular.

Research project
Diamond Jubilee Fellowship project
This collaborative project (2014-2017) funded by the Universities of Southampton and Helsinki, and led by Jennifer Jenkins at Southampton and Anna Mauranen at Helsinki, explores orientations to English language use within universities that describe themselves as 'international' or 'global'. The main focus is on staff and student (international and home) perspectives on English language use and requirements (including entry requirements), with the aim of providing sufficient data to enable us to draw cross-university comparisons and contrasts in both English Medium Instruction and English dominant contexts, as well as broader conclusions about the nature of internationalization on the campuses involved. In addition to the research teams at the universities of Southampton and Helsinki, the project includes research teams at Monash University (Australia), Shantou University (China), the University of Sienna (Italy), the University of Malaya (Malaysia), Waseda University (Japan), Vrije University (Netherlands), and the University of Saragossa (Spain). The completed project will be presented at a one-day workshop in Helsinki in June 2017 and in an edited volume on English Medium Instruction.

Research project(s)

This collaborative project with partners in Southampton, Szeged and Prague forms part of the wider LINEE network funded under the EU 6th Framework (Languages in a Network of European Excellence).

The research workshop aims to explore alternative perspectives to understanding English based on Global Englishes and English as a lingua franca research and the implications this has for language policy and classroom practices. The workshop will allow established scholars and early career researchers from Thailand and the UK to discuss work in this area and consider more sustainable (economically and socially), locally relevant approaches to language ideology, language policy, and language teaching, with the aim of bringing about long-term changes in Thai education.
