5. Codification of Asian Englishes Importance of codification – Acceptance, prestige, classroom model Obstacles in codification model – SLA perspective: – Indigenised varieties of English (IVEs) regarded as ‘interlanguages’ – Goal of SLA = native-like competence – NS input sufficient for acquisition – SLA process without reference to L2 functions – Role of L1  interference – Motivation for acquisition ‘integrative’, i.e. admiration of NS, desire to become member of culture B7

6. IVE settings differ from SLA concepts IVE settings: – Target: no longer NS, but other NNSs – Input is IVE (not NS) – Multilingual settings, diglossic situation – English does not serve all functions, other local languages present – Motivation for learning: instrumental not integrative B7

7. The SLA paradigm SLA: ‘Interlanguage’ (Selinker 1972) – Unstable learner language or – Fossilised learner language  IVEs = fossilised interlanguage (IL) competences Criticised e.g. by Y. Kachru and Canagarajah B7

8.
