Abstract

The multifarious World Englishes paradigm distinguishes certain varieties as “native” Englishes, such as British English and Australian English, from others, known as “New” Englishes, such as Chinese English, Korean English, that are influenced by the “native” varieties. Although there is widespread acceptance of the diversity of regional Englishes in the modern world, many studies have found that “New” English varieties are still labelled as “incorrect”, “deficient”, or “illegitimate” by some groups, and this is not just held in native communities, but also in outer and expanding circles such as Singapore, Japan, etc., as demonstrated by their adherence to Received Pronunciation (RP) and General American. This article aims to clarify the distinction between an “English” and “Standard English”, to explain the origins of Standard English ideology in modern society in the context of its historical roots and discuss the implications for future teaching practices.
