What is English as a Lingua Franca?
‘English’, as a language, has for some time been seen as a
global phenomenon and, therefore, as no longer defined by fixed
territorial, cultural and social functions. At the same time, people
using English around the world have been shaping it and adapting
it to their contexts of use and have made it relevant to their
socio-cultural settings. English as a Lingua Franca, or ELF for
short, is a field of research interest that was born out of this
tension between the global and the local, and it originally began
as a ramification of the World Englishes framework in order to
address the international, or, rather, transnational perspective on
English in the world. The field of ELF very quickly took on a nature
of its own in its attempt to address the communication, attitudes,
ideologies in transnational contexts, which go beyond the
national categorisations of World Englishes (such as descriptions
of Nigerian English, Malaysian English and other national
varieties). ELF research, therefore, has built on World Englishes
research by focusing on the diversity of English, albeit from more
transnational, intercultural and multilingual perspectives.
ELF is an intercultural medium of communication used among people from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds,
and usually among people from different first languages.
Although it is possible that many people who use ELF have learnt
it formally as a foreign language, at school or in an educational
institution, the emphasis is on using rather than on learning. And
this is a fundamental difference between ELF and English as a
Foreign Language, or EFL, whereby people learn English to
assimilate to or emulate native speakers. In ELF, instead, speakers
are considered language users in their own right, and not failed
native speakers or deficient learners of English. Some examples
of typical ELF contexts may include communication among a
group of neuroscientists, from, say, Belgium, Brazil and Russia, at
an international conference on neuroscience, discussing their
work in English, or an international call concerning a business
project between Chinese and German business experts, or a
group of migrants from Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq discussing their
migration documents and requirements in English. The use of
English will of course depend on the linguistic profile of the
participants in these contexts, and they may have another
common language at their disposal (other than English), but
today ELF is the most common medium of intercultural
communication, especially in transnational contexts.
So, research in ELF pertains to roughly the same area of
research as English as a contact language and English
sociolinguistics. However, the initial impetus to conducting
research in ELF originated from a pedagogical rationale – it
seemed irrelevant and unrealistic to expect learners of English
around the world to conform to native norms, British or
American, or even to new English national varieties, which would
be only suitable to certain socio-cultural and geographical
locations. So, people from Brazil, France, Russia, Mozambique, or
others around the world, would not need to acquire the norms
originated and relevant to British or American English speakers,
but could orientate themselves towards more appropriate and
relevant ways of using English, or ELF. Researchers called for
“closing a conceptual gap” between descriptions of native English
varieties and new empirical and analytical approaches to English
in the world. With the compilation of a number of corpora, ELF
empirical research started to explore how English is developing,
emerging and changing in its international uses around the world.
Since the empirical corpus work started, research has expanded
beyond the pedagogical aim, to include explorations of
communication in different domains of expertise (professional,
academic, etc.) and in relation to other concepts and research,
such as culture, ideology and identity.

M .O. Obimpeh and J.A. Dankwa. Public administration – public management interface: how different is the “management” from the “administration”? Internet: (adapted)
Text CB1A2-I
The quest for universal administrative standards to
promote the effective application of public laws and policies
gave birth to the field of public administration. Woodrow Wilson
argued for a distinction between politics and administration,
arguing that the former was more concerned with democracy,
justice, and equality, while the latter was more concerned with
efficiency, as he postulated that “administration lies beyond the
proper domain of politics; administrative questions are not
political questions” (Wilson, 1887).
According to Waldo (1948), the means and measurements
of efficiency were the same for all administrations: democracy, if
it were to survive, could not afford to ignore the lessons of
centralization, hierarchy and discipline. Bureaucracy as an
organisational type has seen its heyday in the field of public
administration, owing to Woodrow Wilson’s Transfer of
Administrative Principles.
That notwithstanding, the field has gone through
paradigmatic evolution over time by a quest for management
paradigm derived from the discipline of business administration.
The management approach is said to hold the promise of future
public sector reform, replacing the administrative approach
traditionally provided by public administration. A new concept
arises when the management perspective is combined with an
emphasis on the public sector: public management.
Courses and programmes, as well as whole academic
institutions and colleges, are adapting by switching from the term
“public administration” to “public management”. Considering
the growing demands for efficiency in the public sector, the
transition from a public administration to a public management
framework seems to be the right step.
In the second paragraph of text CB1A2-I, the determiner “its”

The Amazon Forest
The Amazon is often called the lungs of the earth and produces 20% of the world’s oxygen. For this reason, many people are trying to stop deforestation in the rainforest. Brazil, for example, is working hard to help the rainforest survive.
A few years ago, the Brazilian government put forward a plan called ARPA (Amazon Region Protected Areas). It had the support of many international agencies, including the World Bank, and the German Development Bank, KfW. The main aim was to build new areas of protected rainforest, maintain areas of the rainforest that hadn’t yet been destroyed, and stop deforestation. Deforestation contributes greatly to global warming because carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when trees get cut down and burned.
One of the first areas to be recognized as part of ARPA was the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. It is 38,800 km2 and is the same size as Switzerland, a small country in Central Europe. It’s the world’s largest protected tropical national park, and the second largest national park. It is home to certain species of jaguar, eagle, and lizard, which can only survive in the rainforest. Many of these species are under threat from climate change and deforestation.
In order to work in the park, conservationists need
a reliable map. However, no map existed, and they
didn’t have enough knowledge to make one on their
own. They came up with the idea of involving local
tribes to help them, combining modern and ancient
methods to produce a map. The tribes learned to use
global positioning system handsets (GPS), in conjunction with their local knowledge of the area, which
included fishing and hunting grounds, and places of
historical or mythical importance. Aerial photos were
a 20useful aid in the process as well. This method of
map-making is now the key to the future of rainforests,
in Brazil and the rest of the world too.
