Doelstelling: De doelstelling van deze scriptie is een overzicht te bieden van het beeld dat wetenschappers schetsen van de rol die het Engels tegenwoordig speelt in de wereld en op internationale conferenties. Daarbij zal de invloed die het Engels heeft in Europa uitvoeriger besproken worden en zal worden nagegaan in welke mate Europese sprekers Engels beheersen. Middelen of methode: Vanuit een literatuurstudie, aangevuld met twee pilotstudies, werd een antwoord op de onderzoeksvragen gegeven. In de eerste pilot study werden conferentieorganisatoren gecontacteerd met een vragenlijst over Europese conferenties inzake emissierechten. In de tweede pilot study werden tien conferenties geselecteerd en werd, via het internet en contact met de organisatoren, nagegaan wat de moedertaal was van de aanwezige sprekers. Resultaten: Uit de literatuurstudie blijkt dat Engels wereldwijd door een aanzienlijk aantal mensen wordt gesproken. Verder blijkt dat inwoners van verschillende Europese regio's op een andere manier Engels praten. Het empirisch onderzoek toont aan dat Engels ook het vaakst wordt aangewend als voertaal op Europese conferenties inzake emissies.

Heritage language (HL) researchers with a focus on East Asian languages today have recently made major advances in identifying individual and contextual factors associated with HL proficiency development in these languages. This chapter first reviews recent empirical studies that examine factors associated with or predictive of East Asian HL proficiency development such as first language background, HL use and contact, and socio-psychological variables (e.g., attitude, motivation, and identity). The chapter also reviews the literature that investigates how parents view and experience HL proficiency development. The papers collected in this volume are also discussed where relevant. This chapter concludes by suggesting directions for future research concerning East Asian HL proficiency development.

"The "native speaker" is often thought of as an ideal language user with "a complete and possibly innate competence in the language" which is perceived as being bounded and fixed to a homogeneous speech community and linked to a nation-state. Despite recent works that challenge its empirical accuracy and theoretical utility, the notion of the "native speaker" is still prevalent today. The Native Speaker Concept shifts the analytical focus from the second language acquisition processes and teaching practices to daily interactions situated in wider sociocultural and political contexts marked by increased global movements of people and multilingual situations. Using an ethnographic approach, the volume critically elucidates the political nature of (not) claiming the "native speaker" status in daily life and the ways the ideology of "native speaker" intersects and articulates, supports, subverts, or complicates various relations of dominance and regimes of standardization. The book offers cases from diverse settings, including classrooms in Japan, a coffee shop in Barcelona, secondary schools in South Africa, a backyard in Rapa Nui (Easter Island), restaurant kitchens, a high school administrator's office, a college classroom in the United States, and the Internet. It also offers a genealogy of the notion of the "native speaker" from the time of the Roman Empire. Employing linguistic, anthropological and educational theories, the volume speaks not only to the analyses of language use and language policy, planning, and teaching, but also to the investigation of wider effects of language ideology on relations of dominance, and institutional and discursive practices."--Publisher.
