(PMM/URCA 2025) In light of the conceptualization of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) – which emphasizes the use of English as a means of communication among speakers from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds – it is incorrect to affirm that:


A

It accepts and values the different accents, grammar choices, and vocabulary used by speakers from around the world, as long as communication is effective.


B

English no longer belongs exclusively to native-speaking countries; it’s a global resource shared by many communities.


C

Users of English as a lingua franca develop sensitivity to cultural differences.


D

Teachers are encouraged to include global varieties of English, value students’ identities, and focus on communication rather than perfection.


E

The goal is mutual understanding by imitating nativespeaker models.
