     The discussion of the worldliness of English (…) suggests that it is impossible to separate English from its many contexts, and therefore, that the idea that it might be possible to ‘just teach the language’ - is (…) indefensible. (…) To teach is to be caught up in an array of questions concerning curriculum, educational systems and classroom practices: (1) whose knowledges and cultures are given credence? (2) to what extent does an educational system reproduce social and cultural inequalities? And (3) what understandings of language, culture, education, authority, knowledge or communication do we assume in our teaching?
