Description

Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) was proposed by Rose and Galloway (2019) to prepare learners to use English for global communication. In this study, GELT content, including listening, pronunciation, speaking and reading, was implemented in an English course at a university in Tokyo. The learners were surveyed at the start of the course and then at the end in order to understand their attitudes towards the GELT content and to give recommendations for implementing GELT.
