Learning English As A Lingua Franca: Going Beyond The “orthophonic” Stage Of Teaching English As A Foreign Language

Authors : Zerar Sabrina .

Abstract

This paper is voluntarily written as a defence for a change in the status of English from that of foreign language to that of lingua franca in our schools and universities. We consider that teaching English as a lingua franca rather than as a foreign language, as is the case today, responds to the learners‘ psychological and sociological needs observed in the classroom.
