- Abstract
- The spread of English over the world as a world language and World Englishes with a variety of English are two most indispensable topics when we teach the History of the English Language (HEL) class in college. This study analyzes how these topics are treated in 13 prominent books/textbooks in the field of HEL covering domestic as well as international publications. The more recently the books were published, the more productively and more pushfully the topics tend to be discussed as expected. Accordingly, the time of the publication becomes crucial in choosing a textbook for HEL classes depending on course objectives set by individual instructors. Also, these two topics are found located in the very last or second to the last part of most books since they belong to the period of (early) Modern English and HEL is usually described in the chronological order in the publications. Nonetheless, the attitudes of the authors towards the topics appear different from one another, demonstrating diverse opinions with respect to causes/effects of the spread of English, linguistic characteristics of World Englishes, as well as the role of English education in different regions. In teaching any HEL-related classes, it should be considered how to let students recognize and understand diverse perspectives towards the history of English and further the varieties of World Englishes.
