Abstract

ABSTRACTEnglish is a lingua franca of the world, and therefore English language teaching is an ideal means for global citizenship education.

Together with the notion of Linguistic Imperialism, GELT enables the blending of Kant’s cosmopolitan right and hospitality right which have been neglected in literature.
