Language Variation in Terms of Teaching English
The choice of a variety of English to be taught at schools and universities is not easy since there are several established standards from which one may select. Why certain varieties are preferred, as opposed to others, depends on historical, cultural, geographical, attitudinal consideration. The choice of the variety of English to be taught has also been challenged by many distinctive forms of new Englishes that have come into existence as a result of language contact and language interference.
