Book description
This book argues that ELF needs to be understood as an adaptable and creative use of language in its own right, and not as a deviant or erroneous version of native speaker English. It demonstrates how its 'non-conformist' formal features are functionally motivated by the dynamics of communicative interaction. In this respect, ELF is of particular relevance to the sociolinguistic study of language variation in general. But as the book points out, this reconceptualization of 'English' also has important pedagogic implications since it raises questions about what kind of language content and what kind of communicative capability it is appropriate and realistic to teach as a subject.
