Abstract
Abstract Research on world Englishes and Second Language Acquisition has conceptualized language, language users, and language learning as diverse and dynamic, broadening conventional knowledge. Yet, research outputs have not influenced language education policies in Expanding Circle countries, which favor Inner Circle standardized English, promote teaching English to young learners, and require monolingual teaching of English, as seen in the case of Japanese primary and secondary education. These activities are perpetuated by macro‐level language ideology and broader political, historical, and economic forces including neoliberalism that exist at a super macro level. Examining the roots of these practices directs our attention to both macro and super‐macro issues as well as to complicities between research/researchers and broader ideological and structural issues. Recommendations are offered to invite researchers to begin exploring how research can make impacts on real‐world issues.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
