Counterpoint to Henry Widdowson's point.
- Authors
Phillipson, Robert
- Abstract
The author counters Henry Widdowson's argument for a radical reappraisal of accepted ideas about how English is taught and tested, as presented in the article "English Beyond the Pale: The Language of Outsiders" that was published within the issue. Topics discussed include expansion of the English language, English as a lingua franca, and English language testing such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
