| Abstract | From a communicative point of view, the phenomenon of globalisation is, above all, reflected in the use of English as a world-wide Lingua Franca. At the same time, the ever increasing use of English as a world language also reinforces the process of globalisation. In order to counterbalance the power of the English language in a global - and specifically European - context, several approaches have been advanced by politicians and applied linguists: A policy of multilingualism. This can be attained by offering a greater variety of languages at school and by encouraging pupils to learn more than one foreign language, thereby reducing the dominant role of English. A policy of plurilingualism. According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, plurilingualism is expected to result in the acquisition of a non-language-specific, but general and holistic communicative competence to which all knowledge and experience of language(s) contributes, and in which languages interrelate and interact. Trying to establish English a Lingua Franca as a linguistic variety in its own right. Thus ELF is seen as more or less independent from the native varieties of English. After assessing the merits and possible shortcomings of the mentioned positions the paper reexamines the role and function of English as a Foreign Language in European English language classrooms. It concludes that the concept of EFL has not outlived itself (yet), and is still valid - though in a modified and restricted version. (Verlag, adapt.). |
