ELT Alanında World Englishes (Dünya İngilizceleri) ve English as a Lingua Franca (Ortak Dil Olarak İngilizce) Araştırmalarının Sistematik Bir İncelemesi: Yükselen Eğilimler ve Pedagojik Çıkarımlar

Öz

Bu sistematik incelemenin amacı, World Englishes (WE) ve English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) alanlarında yürütülen araştırmalardaki yükselen eğilimleri ve pedagojik çıkarımları incelemektir. 2019–2024 yılları arasında İngiliz Dili Eğitimi (ELT) ile ilişkili güvenilir veri tabanlarında indekslenen 30 çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda; çalışmaların genel örüntüleri bağlam, eğitim ortamı ve yöntem açısından analiz edilmiş, ayrıca ortaya çıkan temalar ve karşılaşılan zorluklar belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, ana dili İngilizce olan konuşur normlarına yönelik süregelen tercihlerin devam ettiğini; bununla birlikte kültürel kapsayıcılık ve dilsel çeşitliliğe yönelik artan bir eğilimin de bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, söz konusu sistematik inceleme WE, ELF ve ELT’nin kesişim noktasına odaklanmakta ve coğrafi temsil, müfredat tasarımı, ders materyalleri ve öğretmen eğitimi alanlarında yerli konuşur normları ile kapsayıcı çerçeveler arasında denge kurmaya yönelik gelecekteki araştırmalar ve pedagojik yenilikler için öneriler sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, ihmal edilen alanlardaki boşlukları gidermeye yönelik gelecek araştırma yönelimleri de önerilmektedir.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF WORLD ENGLISHES AND ENGLISH AS A LINGUA FRANCA RESEARCH IN ELT: EMERGING TRENDS AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Öz

The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the emerging trends and pedagogical implications in research conducted in World Englishes (WE) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). Drawing from 30 studies indexed in credible databases related to English Language Teaching (ELT) from 2019 to 2024, the analysis identifies the general patterns in terms of study context, education context, and methodology along with emerging themes and challenges. Findings report both the longstanding preference for native speaker norms and that also a rise in culture inclusivity and linguistic diversity. Thus, this systematic review attends to the intersection of WE, ELF, and ELT and provides directions for future research and pedagogical innovation in relation to geographical representation, curriculum design, course materials and teacher education in order to balance native norms with inclusive frameworks, ultimately preparing learners for global communication. Future research directions are proposed to bridge gaps in these neglected areas.
