Research Paper (University and Research Institutions Bulletin)
At the Center for English as a Lingua Franca (CELF), students interact with teachers and tutors who have different first languages and cultural backgrounds. The CELF goals are to raise student awareness of the use of language in such ELF contexts and to develop an ELF-oriented curriculum. ELF research has put forth a range of pedagogical implications. Suggestions by ELF researchers include exposing students to a “wide range of English” (Bjo?rkman, 2013, p. 191), and “promoting interactions among students themselves in the classroom” (Matsumoto, 2011, p. 110). Students should be encouraged with opportunities to engage in meaningful tasks which promote the use of such strategies as repetition, paraphrasing, clarification checks and “collaborative completion of utterances in their interactions as they negotiate meaning and co-construct understanding in English” (Kaur, 2014, p. 159).
