Global Englishes in Language Education

Global Englishes in language education encompasses the study and teaching of English as a pluricentric, international means of communication rather than a single standard variety. This field recognises the multiplicity of English norms around the world and seeks pedagogical approaches that validate diverse accents, dialects and communicative practices. Recent scholarship emphasises critical awareness of power dynamics in language use, challenges the supremacy of native-speaker models and promotes curricula that equip learners to navigate intercultural encounters. Innovations span bottom-up curriculum design, translanguaging and digital technologies, all underpinned by partnerships between researchers and practitioners. The ultimate aim is to prepare both teachers and students for inclusive, intelligible and context-sensitive use of English in global settings.

Considering the innovations mentioned in Text 2, analyze the following options and choose the alternative that correctly describes them.

Tech-enhanced learning: edtech trends, AI and the future of education


What is the purpose of learning? Education means many things to many different people, and the only definitive answer to the question of its purpose seems to be an ambiguous one: it depends — on cultural and historical contexts, social and political factors, philosophical views, educational theories, individual preferences, and disciplines (STEM or the humanities, for example). Even linguistically, education is synonymous with a range of related notions — teaching, schooling, training, development, coaching, improvement, instruction — that differ in subtle ways.


In Classical Athens, for example, elementary education included the paidotribēs (athletics and fitness), the kitharistēs (music and lyric poetry), and the grammatistēs (reading, writing, and arithmetic), whereas mediaeval grammar schools combined Classical learning with a decidedly Christian dimension. Based on the ideas of Alexander von Humboldt, the eighteenth-century German notion of education (Bildung) emphasised lifelong selfdevelopment in contrast to skills training (Ausbildung).


Closer to our own time, education is no longer the privileged domain of the wealthy, no longer available only to (young) men, and no longer primarily associated with religion, but many challenges nevertheless remain in terms of aims, rationales, and accessibility, especially when we add the digital classroom and tech-enhanced learning into the mix. And yet, despite the challenges, education will continue to serve as a cornerstone for skilling and reskilling, empowering individuals and societies to navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing world. 


AI-powered learning in our post-COVID era, for example, underscores the complex intersection of education and technology, one that necessarily presents both challenges and opportunities for students, educators, and policymakers. In the following article, we’ll explore how emerging technologies, particularly the confluence of edtech and AI, are already re-shaping the future of learning, and, along the way, highlight a number of innovative European edtech startups taking the lead on the use of technology to enhance and support education.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Language Learning



    Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly influential tool in language education. Digital platforms powered by AI can instantly provide personalized feedback, adapt learning paths according to students' performance, and offer opportunities for authentic interaction through virtual assistants and conversational chatbots. Such innovations have expanded access to language learning beyond the classroom and have encouraged greater learner autonomy.

    However, educational researchers emphasize that technological innovation alone does not guarantee meaningful learning. They argue that language acquisition remains fundamentally a social process, requiring interaction, negotiation of meaning, collaboration, and critical reflection. Therefore, AI should not replace teachers but rather complement pedagogical practices, allowing educators to dedicate more time to mediating learning, fostering intercultural awareness, and promoting communicative competence.

    Furthermore, concerns have emerged regarding algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the reliability of automatically generated content. For this reason, schools are increasingly expected to develop students' digital literacy so that they can critically evaluate online information, recognize the limitations of artificial intelligence, and use technological resources ethically and responsibly.

    In this context, effective language teaching involves balancing technological innovation with human interaction, ensuring that digital resources enhance—not replace—the educational relationship established between teachers and learners.

Bettytown Library marks opening chapter


      Tomorrow (Tuesday) marks the first anniversary of the opening of Bettystown Library with a programme of events taking place throughout the day to celebrate the milestone.

     First opening its doors on 24th tebruary 2025, over the past year it has become very much embedded in the East Meath community, which had been without its own library service for two decades. 

      On Friday, staff were delighted to learn that Bettystown Library has been shortlisted as an Island of Ireland Regional and Country Finalist for the Library of the Year 2026, a category of the British Book Awards, which is sponsored by DK in association with the Reading Agency.

     Events to mark the first anniversary including an exhibition of work by the 'Open Book Craft Group' one of the very successful groups that meeting in the library.

       Executive Librarian Aoife Carberry is delighted with how the first year has gone for the library.

     "We are blown away by the support we have received. It is so lovely to get to know the different members and organisations within the area and to work towards the best service we can possible be for them, "she said. "We have been very lucky, we have had incredible support from the community here. We've worked closely with a number or organisations, schools and special interest groups in the area as well. We just want to thank the community for welcoming us as well as they have and we look forward to continuing to work with them as the years go by."

     She spoke of how libraries are no longer quiet hushed places but are vibrant places with a wide variety of events and initiatives that go far beyond just borrowing books.

     "The biggest message we want to get out is that libraries are open to everyone, everyone is welcome. We have our books. We have plenty of events, loads of initiatives we work on, in Meath we have STEAM kits and backpacks to borrow, home energy kits to borrow, a huge range of online resources, audio books, ebooks, courses where you can upskill or develop a new hobby, language learning courses and books in other languages."

      "There is a huge wealth of things in libraries, covering all ages and all interests."

We have plenty of events, loads of initiatives we work on, in Meath we have STEAM kits and backpacks to borrow, home energy kits to borrow, a huge range of online resources, audio books, ebooks, courses where you can upskill or develop a new hobby, language learning courses and books in other languages."
