This paper presents an overview of the aims and development of a CLIL-based linguistics course taught over a fifteen-week semester at a Japanese university.Particularly, this overview attempts to justify the use of British and American English varieties to promote intercultural awareness and linguistic diversity in an English as a foreign language (EFL) setting.By acknowledging the colonial undertones of these two Englishes and using their ubiquitousness to highlight relationships with other varieties, it is possible to accentuate the prevalence and distinct features of other inner, outer, and expanding Englishes.In addition, the course is designed to familiarise students with some of the social issues that occur during interactions between speakers of different dialects and varieties and provide them with a platform to discuss these issues.
