ABSTRACT

With the advancement of globalization, English is no longer considered to belong exclusively to a certain nation or community. Instead, it has interacted with different cultures, giving rise to the emergence and rapid development of varieties of English. In the expanding circle countries where English is used as a lingua franca, it is important to strike a balance between language proficiency and cultural background when choosing a medium for classroom-based instruction. It is crucial to select an easy-to-use and sustainable variety of English based on the teaching practices in a particular context, in order to better cater to the needs of learners. Through a critical review of existing literature, this paper concludes that the native speaker model is more suitable for English classroom instruction in the expanding circle countries compared to the lingua franca English model.
