Sybing, R. (2011). Assessing perspectives on culture in EFL education. ELT Journal, 65(4), 467-469.
摘要:A significant amount of literature in English as a foreign language (EFL) education has expression reservations concerning the presence of culture in EFL curricula, a trend almost certain to continue as English as an international language (EIL) develops further. Sybing contends that the current state of English in the world has developed to the point where proponents advocating EIL and non-standard English varieties in the World Englishes model are fighting obstacles that either no longer exist or have evolved over time. Sybing argues that "native-speaker culture cannot simply be separated from a language that has already left its cultural imprint on non-English-speaking cultures." Adapted from the source document
