Supervisor(s): Trappes-Lomax, H., C. Benson and A. Irvine

Summary: Japanese government policy is to promote a more ELF-based approach to English teaching. This thesis investigates how far current learning materials reflect this aim, and explores stake-holder attitudes towards ELF-oriented materials. Participants tended to favour materials promoting awareness-raising, while rejecting the idea of ELF as a model for classroom learning.
