Question

There is a global conceptual shift: learning English is no longer perceived as an “elegant achievement and symbol of social status,” but is understood as a constitutive part of basic education alongside mother tongue literacy and mathematical skills. Considering this shift, what policy change is most crucial for developing communicative competence within the framework of higher education internationalization?

Accepted Answer

D) The focus of language policy must shift from luxury to functional need, recognizing the irrelevance of the 'native speaker' concept and prioritizing the communicative competence of the non-native teacher.

Answer

A) A renewed institutional focus on teaching highly complex English idioms and advanced rhetorical structures to preserve the language's image as an 'elegant achievement.'

Answer

B) The need to re-emphasize the native speaker model (UK/US) as the ultimate standard, given that English is now fundamental to global literacy.

Answer

C) The adoption of monolingual teaching methodologies in the classroom, as the integration of English into basic literacy eliminates the need for multilingual approaches.

Answer

E) The elimination of all English courses from the higher education curriculum is proposed, as English is now considered a matter of basic education.
