- Abstract
The editorial discusses the widespread use of English as a lingua franca (ELF) and the need for a paradigm shift in language teaching practices. It highlights the increasing number of non-native English speakers and the importance of incorporating their language use and norms into the classroom. The editorial also mentions the scarcity of empirical research in this area and introduces a special issue dedicated to exploring the integration of ELF in educational contexts. The issue aims to provide insights into teacher education, learners' competences as ELF users, intercultural awareness, and classroom-based assessment. The special issue is dedicated to Nicos Sifakis, a pioneering scholar in the field of ELF awareness.
