Diffusion of Innovation: A Plea for Indigenous Models.

Rani Rubdy · 2008

Summary. English language teaching in former colonial countries has relied on importing Western methods rather than developing homegrown approaches. This imitation fails because it ignores existing local pedagogical traditions and causes rejection in local contexts. The paper argues for indigenous curriculum models that build on local practitioners' strengths, amplify local voices, and remain sensitive to specific cultural and contextual needs.
