 uences\n\nMichał B. Paradowski\, Institute of Applied Linguistics\, Univer
 sity of Warsaw\n\nPresented by DISE Matters & BILD (Belonging Identity Lan
 guage & Diversity) Research Community\n\nEnglish has now established itsel
 f as a language learnt predominantly for interaction with other non-native
  users. The talk will commence with a presentation of the areas of daily l
 ife where the language has become prevalent\, and the reasons behind these
  developments. We shall then interrogate the concepts of a native speaker 
 (NS) and of ‘proper’\, ‘Standard English’\, examining whether the latter i
 s a viable model for most students. We will discuss how non-native users a
 dapt and variably alter English ad hoc to suit their communicative purpose
 \, thus preserving their identity without striving to mimic NSs’ conventio
 ns. These considerations will steer us towards a discussion of the implica
 tions for language pedagogy\, and the assets of non-native speaker teacher
 s. The talk will conclude with recommendations for academic instruction an
 d the translation and interpreting profession.\n\nMichał B. Paradowski is
