How to access research, English as a Lingua Franca

During this webinar, Ben Beaumont and and FoELT 2019 presenter Marek Kiczkowiak talked about how applied linguistics research can provide insights that contribute significantly to the design of effective teaching procedures. They also discussed pedagogical principles and practical ideas for teaching ELF (English as a Lingua Franca), and how this differs from teaching EFL or ESL.
