World Englishes, EMI, and State-of-The-Art International English

ABSTRACT

"Lost in Citations” is an audio journal that was started in the spring of 2020 to create a platform for academics whose opportunities to contact other researchers in various fields had been curtailed by the restriction of the COVID-19 outbreak. What developed were a series of narratives based on the backgrounds of the interviewees and the interactions of their reports with subsequent interviewees. This chapter includes one of these narratives in relation to World Englishes, Global Englishes, English as an International Language, English as a medium of instruction, and other sociolinguistic concerns covered in six of our most popular interviews and how their contents link together to form a up-to-the-minute picture of the state of these interlinked fields of research. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
