dc.description.abstractGlobalisation has opened, and is still opening, new vistas of opportunities for English Language teachers in many nations of the world. The teachers are, however, not expected to go and propagate the parochial variety of the English being spoken in their countries because doing so will confuse learners as they are exposed to various teachers from different nations. For international intelligibility, therefore, advocacy is made for the promotion of a variety for global use. Such a global variety could only be that which is fashioned after the Standard British English. That this cannot be an easy task, and may be impossible under some circumstances, is acknowledged. The advice here is still that English language teachers should strive for the Received Pronunciation. The challenges this herculean task will pose to English Language teacher preparation curricula in the direction of raising teachers of the language whose services can be found satisfactory anywhere in the world are discussed and suggestions are proffered.
