Review: Pedagogy And Classroom Setting Affecting Students’ Attitudes Toward WE

Abstract

World Englishes harness the linguistic influence of non-native English speakers. Nevertheless, multiple reports have highlighted students' negative perceptions of World Englishes (WE). To comprehend foreign language learners' attitudes toward World English and identify influential models, researchers have thoroughly examined various empirical studies. The findings indicate that conventional teaching approaches predominantly follow a top-down approach, while incorporating elements of bottom-up instruction has shown a positive impact.
