Description
This insightful work delves into the evolving landscape of English as a Lingua Franca in academic contexts, highlighting how non-native speakers influence the use and perception of English in scholarly communication. By examining real-world interactions and practices, it uncovers the unique linguistic features and patterns that emerge when diverse speakers come together to share knowledge.
Through a combination of research and analysis, the author sheds light on the implications of ELF for academic discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of its role in global education. This exploration paves the way for rethinking traditional notions of language proficiency and formal communication in academic environments.
