This book offers insights from a seven-year study into the impact of English as an International Language at a national level, from the effect of rich English input on a previously monolingual people’s linguistic repertoire to its effect on the situated language use demanded of speakers who find themselves in a new linguistic environment for which they have not been prepared. The changes described in the book have occurred in a speech community that identifies strongly with the local language, but finds itself increasingly having to use another language to perform daily functions in education and work. Findings describe how the official language and educational policies have not addressed this new linguistic ecology of Iceland. The findings of these studies have larger international practical, educational, empirical, and theoretical implications and should be relevant to anyone interested in in the impact of English as an International Language.

This book is a bridge to confident academic writing for students who use English as an Additional Language (EAL). By emphasizing writing as a thinking process, the textbook develops the skills writers need to work effectively with AI tools. The Art of Writing teaches students how to synthesize ideas and present them in their own voice. The Architecture of Writing teaches students to master varied essay structures as a gateway to writing in their disciplines. Writing concepts are introduced through easy-to-follow explanations and reinforced with short, frequent writing assignments and practical exercises. The chapters include guided practice in writing strategies and frequent reflections that build students’ confidence in writing English for Academic Purposes (EAP).The AWARE framework guides students to think critically through five stages of academic writing: Arranging to Write, Writing, Assessing, Revising, and Editing. AWARE teaches students to recognize and address common problems associated with AI use in writing: Arranging to Write provides a context for generating effective AI prompts; Assessing teaches strategies for critically examining traditional and AI sources; Revising helps students avoid plagiarism through practicing citation strategies and expressing ideas in their own words.
