should be our Standard/EGL. And then, university and college students should learn
their SPECIFIC, PROFESSIONAL, or ACADEMIC Purposes of English, so that
they can discuss all their matters with people overseas for their common interests.
In conclusion, I would like to suggest the following four points that make EGL
good English to be taught at school. (1) The EGL has to be international. It has to be
intelligible and used by all the people throughout the world. (2) The EGL has to be
used by educated people throughout the world. (3) Accent is no problem unless it
hinders understanding. Accent is the symbol of identity to be understood worldwide.
(4) The EGL must not be strongly identified Pidgin. This kind of English never
works as an English as a global Language.
