Suraweera, Dulani – TESL Canada Journal, 2022
While learning and teaching English as an additional language are lifelong learning processes for both learners and teachers, these two sectors are largely dominated by West-centric linguistic and cultural imperialism, epistemic hegemony, racism, and neoliberalism, which are tied to colonialism and imperialism. In light of this issue, I argue that…

Cogo, Alessia – ELT Journal, 2012

Chamberlin-Quinlisk, Carla; Senyshyn, Roxanna M. – Intercultural Education, 2012

Davies, Alan – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2011
Opinions differ on the importance of the native speaker's concept for language teaching and testing. This Commentary maintains that it is important and seeks to explain why. Three types of grammar are distinguished, the individual's, the community's and the human faculty of language. For first language teaching and testing it is the community's…

Rajagopalan, Kanavillil – ELT Journal, 2004
World English (WE) belongs to everybody who speaks it, but it is nobody's mother tongue.
