TEXT 2
GRAMMAR
Most English language teachers are probably comfortable
using the word ‘grammar’. There is an established
grammatical tradition within ELT, and terms such as
‘tense’, ‘conditional form’, or ‘defining relative clause’ are
likely to be familiar even to relatively inexperienced
teachers. Grammar is often thought of as something
reliable and predictable, but although the term is a
keyword in the ELT profession, it is somewhat under-examined. A look at the word’s history reveals a perhaps
surprising amount of variation and inconsistency.
The word ‘grammar’ comes originally from Ancient Greek
grammatike (‘pertaining to letters/written language’).
Grammar was one of the ‘liberal arts’ taught in Ancient
Greece, and in Rome from around the fifth century BC,
although at this time it was a wider area of study than
today, including textual and aesthetic criticism and literary
history. Its study continued in Europe in medieval times
and beyond, with grammar being taught at schools
alongside logic and rhetoric in what was known as the
‘trivium’.
The tradition of studying the grammar of English in British
schools did not emerge until the 16th century (Howatt with
Widdowson 2004: 77) — until then, studying grammar at
school meant studying Latin or Ancient Greek, not
vernacular languages. Indeed, the first grammar of
English, Bullokar’s Pamphlet for Grammar (1586), is said
to have been written to demonstrate that the English
language was in fact rule-based and could be analysed in
the same way as Latin (Linn 2006: 74).
Grammar has lost its status as a distinct subject in the
school curriculum but the word has continued (since 1530
according to the Oxford English Dictionary) to be used as
a countable noun meaning ‘a book describing the grammar
of a language’.

TEXT 1
NATIVE-SPEAKERISM
Framing the Issue
Native-speakerism is an ideology that upholdsthe idea that
so-called “native speakers” are the best models and
teachers of English because they represent a “Western
culture” from which spring the ideals both of English and
of the methodology for teaching it (Holliday, 2005, p. 6).
As an ideology, it is a system of ideas that represents a
distorted worldview that supports a particular vested
interest. The vested interest in the case of nativespeakerism is the promotion by the ELT industry of the
so-called “native speaker” brand. The realization that this
is an ideologically constructed brand derives from
Phillipson’s (1992) linguistic imperialism thesis that the
concept of the “native speaker” as a superior model and
teacher was explicitly constructed by American and British aid agencies in the 1960s to support their agenda of
spreading English as a global product.
Further indication that the “native speaker” brand is an
ideological construction is that the native-non-native
speaker distinction is not self-evident on technical
linguistic or even nationality grounds. It is instead a
professionally popularized distinction that has been falsely
associated with cultural orientation (Kubota & Lin, 2006).
Teachers who are labeled “native speakers” have been
falsely idealized as organized and autonomous in fitting
with the common yet mistaken description of so-called
“individualist cultures” of the West; while teachers who
are labeled “non-native speakers” are demonized as
deficient in these attributes in fitting with the common yet
mistaken description of so-called “collectivist cultures” of
the non-West (Holliday, 2005, p. 19, citing Kubota,
Kumaravadivelu, Nayar, and Pennycook). The collectivist
stereotype is itself considered to be a Western construction
of non-Western cultural deficiency. An example of this is
a British teacher’s reference to a superior “native speaker”
“birthright” at the same time as criticizing, albeit without
foundation, not only the linguistic and pedagogic
performance, but also the cultural background and
proficiency of his “non-native speaker” colleagues
(Holliday & Aboshiha, 2009, p. 667).
The Othering of teachers who are labeled “non-native
speakers” therefore results in a cultural disbelief—not
believing in their ability to teach English within a Western,
and indeed superficially constructed “learning group
ideal” that is characterized by “active” oral expression,
initiation, self-direction, and students working in groups
and pairs (Holliday, 2005, p. 44). The association of the
“non-native speaker” label with deficiency is also deeply
rooted within a wider and equally mistaken Western
perception that people from non-Western cultural
backgrounds are unable to be critical and self-determined.

In the literature on language learning, one particular
process has commonly been singled out for explication:
transfer. The term describes the carryover of previous
performance or knowledge to subsequent learning. Positive
transfer occurs when the prior knowledge benefits the learning
task; negative transfer, or interference, occurs when previous
performance disrupts the performance of a second task.
It has been common in second language teaching to
stress the role of interference. This is of course not surprising,
as native language interference is surely the most immediately
noticeable source of error among second language learners.
The saliency of interference is strong. For example, a French
native speaker might say in English, “I am in New York since
January,” a perfectly logical transfer of the French sentence
“Je suis a New York depuis Janvier.” Because of the negative
transfer of the French verb form to English, the French system
has, in this case, interfered with the person’s production of a
correct English form.
It is exceedingly important to remember, however, that
the native language of a second language learner is often
positively transferred, in which case the learner benefits
from the facilitating effects of the first language. In the above
sentence, for example, the correct one-to-one word order
correspondence, the personal pronoun, and the preposition
have been positively transferred from French to English. We
often mistakenly overlook the facilitating effects of the native
language in our appetite for analyzing errors in the second
language and for overstressing the interfering effects of the
first language.

Speakers of different languages have different sounds.
Thus, as there is no equivalent in English for the ‘click’ in
the South African language Xhosa, English speakers find it
difficult to produce. British speakers mangle French vowels
because they are not the same as the English ones. Japanese
speakers, on the other hand, do not have different phonemes
for /l/ and /r/ and so have difficulty differentiating between
them.
Whereas in some languages there seems to be a close
relationship between sounds and spelling, in English this is
often not the case. The sound /ʌ/, for example, can be realized
in a number of different spellings (e.g. won, young, funny,
flood). The letters ou, on the other hand, can be pronounced
in a number of different ways (e.g. enough, through, though,
and even journey). A lot depends on the sounds that come
before or after them, but the fact remains that we spell some
sounds in a variety of different ways, and we have a variety of
different sounds for the same spelling.

different sounds for the same spelling.

Speakers of different languages have different sounds.
Thus, as there is no equivalent in English for the ‘click’ in
the South African language Xhosa, English speakers find it
difficult to produce. British speakers mangle French vowels
because they are not the same as the English ones. Japanese
speakers, on the other hand, do not have different phonemes
for /l/ and /r/ and so have difficulty differentiating between
them.
Whereas in some languages there seems to be a close
relationship between sounds and spelling, in English this is
often not the case. The sound /ʌ/, for example, can be realized
in a number of different spellings (e.g. won, young, funny,
flood). The letters ou, on the other hand, can be pronounced
in a number of different ways (e.g. enough, through, though,
and even journey). A lot depends on the sounds that come
before or after them, but the fact remains that we spell some
sounds in a variety of different ways, and we have a variety of
different sounds for the same spelling.

Can childhood survive the smartphone?
Below is an excerpt from a conversation between the
reporter Katty Kay and Jonathan Haidt who, with his book The
Anxious Generation, sparked a global reckoning about mobile
phone usage among children when it came out last year.
Katty Kay: It’s been a year since your book came out
and caused a huge conversation. I wanted to start by getting
a kind of report card of where we are on the various aspects
of what you put forward: phones in school, age gating, social
media, getting kids to have more free playtime. Who’s doing
well and who isn’t in America on all of those issues?
Jonathan Haidt: I knew that the book was going to be
popular. What I wasn’t prepared for is that this issue would
spread like wildfire around the world, not just in the US.
Because around the world, family life has turned into a fight
over screen time. Everyone hates it. Everyone sees it.
Where it took off most quickly was phone-free schools,
because that is something that is more easily done. It’s so
hard to teach to a classroom when half of them are watching
short videos and playing video games. So, the teachers have
hated the phones from the beginning but they were afraid,
especially in America – maybe it’s the same in other countries
– but in America, there are a lot of parents who want to be able
to communicate all the time with their child, and they think they
have a right to check in on their child. And, ‘What if something
goes wrong? I need to be there.’ So, the overparenting — ...
KK: That’s a paradox, then, because you’ve got the
parents who are super worried about the phones; they see
what phones are doing to their kids. But they also don’t want
their kids to relinquish their phones when they go into school.
JH: Hey, look, people are complicated! They contain
multitudes. And I shouldn’t say that everyone saw the problem,
because there were a lot of parents who saw the phone as a
lifeline. They see the world as very threatening and dangerous.
But we have to focus on what it will take to allow kids to have
healthy brain development through puberty. We’ve got to give
kids a lot less screen time. A lot less fragmenting time. No
TikTok. No short videos. Let’s give them a lot more experience
interacting with people.
