摘要：This study investigated the effects of integrating Global Englishes in an English for Real Life course on learners’ ability to use English and attitudes toward Global Englishes. Utilizing the research and development approach, Global Englishes activities were developed from the needs analysis and later integrated into a pre-existing English curriculum, English for Real Life. The participants were twenty learners at a vocational university in central Thailand. The analysis of interviews and ethnographic field notes yielded the findings that the learners were more open to language differences, and they developed a tolerance for ambiguity, which later increased their ability to use English with culturally diverse English users. They also reported having much more knowledge about Global Englishes than before learning. However, the learners still believe in standard English. Implications are also discussed.
