This would entail taking into consideration current studies in sociolinguistics (Bayyurt, 2013) of WE and ELF discourse (Sifakis, 2007(Sifakis, , 2014, both at a theoretical level and, even more importantly, through reflective practices (Seidlhofer, 2011, Chapter 8), allowing teachers to "become more aware of the variety/ies of English they actually master and teach" (Pedrazzini & Nava, 2010, p. 280), and to actively reflect on what a WE-and ELF-informed pedagogy would mean in practice.
