Information about the event:
The aim of this seminar was to address changing ideas about
English, and especially the variable and dynamic nature of English
as used in international contexts. The specific issue for
discussion is the need to develop UK and international staff and
students' awareness of lingua franca English usage by both 'native
speakers' and 'non-native speakers'.
