Critical Assessment ,[object Object],Claim: countries like China and India are grossly underrepresented in the Science Citation Index SL academics have trouble meeting standards English required for publishing SL academics have to pay for publication SL academics have to pay to have their articles corrected

Critical Assessment ,[object Object],As non-native speakers of English now outnumber the native speakers, new varieties of English are emerging, which don't depend on childhood acquisition or cultural identity. This language is referred to as English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). Because of this language, it no longer is an advantage to be a native English speaker. Both L1 and L2 speakers have to adjust to this new academic form of the English language.

Improvements ,[object Object],Paying attention to hedging, eliminating frontal overload and passives, using cohesion markers to have sentences better linked up. The term ELF needs explanation, and the last sentence ( “Both L1 and L2 speakers have to adjust to this new academic form of the English language”) is merely an issue, here it is an issue with a point. Rewrite: ELF (English as a Lingua Franca) is an additionally acquired language system serving as a common means of communication between speakers of different first languages. ELF does not depend on childhood acquisition or cultural identity. Furthermore, it does not require the speaker to meet any speaking or writing norms. Perhaps a new form of academic English based on ELF will make it easier for second-language academics to meet the standards for publication, but this would require both L1 and L2 speakers to adjust to this new form of academic English.
