Abstract | Nobody will seriously call into question the fact that English has now become the world's global lingua franca. The implications for the teaching of such a language, however, are still highly contentious among ELT (English language teaching) professionals. In her paper the author wants to examine recent trends in ELT demonstrating why the traditional paradigm of 'English as a foreign language' is no longer adequate and needs to be complemented by components which take into account the lingua franca uses of English worldwide. After a brief outline of the paper's conceptual framework the following ELT-related issues are considered: 1. the contexts and the ways in which English is learned and used today; 2. the most significant controversial conceptual issues; 3. recent findings revealing the language attitudes of students and teachers of English. Finally, preliminary suggestions are made for a lingua franca-inclusive re-orientation of ELT recommending an even greater focus on the strategic flexibility as part of the learner's communicative competence.
