I used to join a seminar on World Englishes. That was the first time that I experienced different English. I do agree to teach students to understand the difference of accents and also their diverse culture. However, it is so challenging to find out who belong the English standard.
• Identify strengths and areas of improvement for the insights presented in the chapter.
The strengths of this chapter is it tries to promote the variety of English in the world. Teachers and students should pay respect to the local English accent, not judge them. However, I am curious about the future of English as the spread of English is getting wider.
