Biography

Martin Dewey has taught English language in various countries including Italy, Mexico, and the UK. He has been instrumental in training language teachers through both pre-service and in-service programs, incorporating schemes like CELTA and DELTA, as well as overseeing numerous professional development projects in language teaching. His research is centered around globalization and the role of English as a Lingua Franca, with a strong interest in multilingualism. This has prompted him to explore how multilingualism affects language teacher education and how it shapes language knowledge in English language teaching. He also investigates attitudes towards multilingualism, language ideologies, critical pedagogy, teacher education, and professional development. Dewey has published extensively in these areas and is notably a co-author of "Analyzing English Lingua Franca: Corpus Driven Investigation" and co-editor of the "Routledge Handbook of English Lingua Franca". His role as editor in chief of the Journal of English Lingua Franca highlights his commitment to this research area. He coordinates the research forum ELF at King’s College London and teaches modules related to English language learning and teaching. He has supervised over ten PhD projects in diverse educational settings around the globe.
