Description:
In recent years, there has been a rapid evolution in the demographics of English speaking communities and individuals around the world, with an unprecedented growth in the number of users and learners of English. In the majority of cases, these learners and users are those who would traditionally have been classified as 'non-native' speakers. This trend towards non-native speakers far outweighing native speakers in number is projected to pick up speed. The evolving nature of English in this context of its globalisation has called for a reassessment of a number of key dimensions in applied linguistic studies of English. Scholarly debates have surfaced about various political issues including the validity of the old distinction between 'native' and non-native' speakers, what form English should - or is likely to - take as a language of international/ intercultural communication (or lingua franca), and which groups are empowered and which ones disadvantaged by the accelerating prominence of English. This article is a position paper which expands on some of these fundamental questions. [Author abstract, ed]
