Kritik
"[T]he book makes illuminating reading for authors, potential authors, editors, and perhaps teachers on MA courses. The discussions of the place and potential impact of visuals within coursebook materials are of particular interest." - ELT Journal

"John Gray's The Construction of English is an original and engaging addition to the existing literature. Necessarily complex, his theoretically eclectic approach, which skillfully melds together perspectives from the areas of cultural studies, applied linguistics and globalization studies, remains accessible throughout to readers new to such fields. This work should rightly be seen as a significant contribution to a growing literature in critical linguistics...[it] will prove a profitable read for scholars from the diverse range of disciplines from which it draws upon, and is therefore highly recommended." - Discourse & Society

"This book will inform current and potential 'consumers' of UK-published English textbooks of the books' historical development, their content features and the potential risks of stereotyping. Finally, the teachers' comments on bestseller textbooks should be utilized by those in the publishing industry in the revision of author guidelines and the production of new textbooks." - Applied Linguisticsmehr
