“…The positive effects described here could potentially support movement toward an ELF or EIL model by working to broaden the standards or varieties teachers are willing to accept in their own classrooms (Floris, ; Galloway & Rose, ; Matsuda, ). However, whether that shift will impact their pedagogy in practice remains to be seen.…”

“…In response to these changes, scholars have called for new paradigms of ELT that reflect “the linguistic, functional, and cultural diversity associated with the English language today” (Matsuda, , p. 25). These new paradigms—whether aligned with ELF, English as an international language (EIL), or World Englishes—seek to emphasize communicative strategies and locally created norms over mastery of a native speaker variety, provide alternative models who are expert L2 users of English, demonstrate the value of codeswitching and innovation, and “problematize the exclusive focus on the U.S. and U.K” in ELT (Matsuda, , p. 26; see also Galloway & Rose, ). The goal of such pedagogies is to prepare students to communicate in a world of highly diverse English speakers, in part by directly challenging native speakerism and standard language ideologies.…”

“…However, in practice English language teaching globally lags far behind the changed reality (Matsuda, ), in part due to a lack of teaching materials that acknowledge the diversity of English (Galloway & Rose, ). In postcolonial settings like Sri Lanka, despite both widespread use and scholarly study of local English varieties, there is deep ambiguity around the adoption of local varieties in education (Mendis & Rambukwella, ), and mastery of “native‐like” English continues to be associated with both individual advancement and national entrance into the global economy (“British Council Launches Project,” ).…”

Research over the past decades has demonstrated the harmful effects of native speakerism in English language teaching, including how perceptions of native speaker status are deeply intertwined with race and national identity. Recently, scholars have begun to investigate how teacher training programs might push back on native speakerism by providing classroom opportunities for students to challenge their assumptions about native speakers. This article discusses the disruptive potential of an online intercultural learning activity in which MA TESL students in Sri Lanka communicated through digital platforms with undergraduates in New York City. Drawing on data from interviews and students’ online writing, this study suggests that, as students shared videos and “linguistic landscape” images and discussed language differences, the MA TESL students confronted linguistic and racial diversity in the United States, recognizing the presence of dialects like African American Vernacular English and drawing on shared English as a second language status to gain confidence in communicating internationally. Ultimately, both groups of students began to question their beliefs about the superiority of inner circle speakers. The article concludes by discussing the benefits of the increased awareness of linguistic variation, considering how this might encourage teachers to move beyond native speaker standards in the classroom, and offering practical suggestions for implementing similar projects.

“…The concepts of Global English and World Englishes got much attention in Western research on incorporating varieties of English into education patterns and ELT in particular [6]. It is a global language with a global ownership [6], and this is the very meaning of the word 'global' which is often implied in diverse studies and contexts. According to B. Seidlhofer, the concept of International English rather means the use of English on the international scale, than a certain language variety [7].…”

The paper deals with the pre-editing process before it goes through machine translation. The main argument is to improve the source in order to improve the raw output quality. The mentioned process is investigated through the prism of the concept of a globalized text, thus making contribution to the research into “translation and globalization paradigm” being of interest over the past years. The content analysis of original and Google-translated texts of the U.S. tourism portal allows one to point out some principles of composing a global English-language text that would make the process of English-Russian translation more simple and productive. We conclude that the content writer should take into account certain peculiarities of the translation process, and they have been pointed out as well.

“…With regard to the diversity and heterogeneity of English and a movement away from "native" speaker norms, Galloway and Rose provided an umbrella framework to "unite the calls for change in ELT" (Galloway & Rose, 2015, p. 4). They later updated the Global Englishes Language Teaching (GELT) framework in 2018 and argued that it could be integrated and applied to the ELT curriculum and materials analysis (Galloway & Rose, 2018). The degree of "ELFness", according to this framework, can be examined along continua of target interlocutors, owners, target cultures, teachers, norms, role models, sources of material, and rst languages and own cultures.…”

Analysis of Taiwan’s English Curriculum and Teaching Materials from the Perspective of English as a Lingua Franca

This content analysis study explores the extent to which Taiwanese senior high school English curriculum and teaching materials reflect an English as a lingua franca (ELF) perspective. The background for this study is changes to Taiwanese education policy, the development of research into teaching ELF, and the vital role of curriculum and teaching materials in English language learning. Data collected for analysis include Taiwan’s 12-year curriculum guidelines for English education and the teaching materials written in line with the curriculum. These data were examined and discussed within an adapted Global Englishes Language Teaching framework, focusing on representations of targets and norms, goals and criteria, and orientation and ownership. This study shows that, despite the curricular rhetoric of recognition for variations of English, Taiwanese senior high school students are not sufficiently prepared for real-life intercultural communication or to take ownership of English. Alternatives supported by this study include (1) presenting students with diverse users and cultures of English, sources of input, and communication strategies, and (2) engaging students in experimenting with and reflecting on their language use and cultural encounters.
