Dear all,
I was wondering what your attitudes toward different English varieties (the more traditional one such as British English as well as the more recently developing ones such as Chinese English) are. What are your associations with standards, norm-dependency, native speaker issues, and their status on an international level?
Additionally, what do you think of the concept of English as a lingua franca? Would you teach it (if you are an English teacher) or would you still stick to a standard variety?
I appreciate your comments!
