A

The belief that communicative success must be measured by the absolute absence of any grammatical features typical of the speaker's first language (L1).

C

The capacity to achieve clear, mutual intelligibility through strategic competence and interactional flexibility among speakers from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

E

The primarly emphasis on complex linguistic structures and a vast idiomatic repertoire is used to establish institutional authority and credibility in international forums.
