Abstract
The current study qualitatively examines 23 interviews with English second language users focusing on their lived experiences of communicating in the context of multicultural and multilingual interactions in Montreal. The interpretative phenomenological analysis of data reveals two superordinate themes: the idealized native speaker of English and ambivalent attitudes toward linguistic diversity which uncover the contested and shifting nature of language ideologies. The themes offer a narrative of the ideology of nativeness, intersecting with current studies in multilingual practices in globalized contexts. The authors suggest that the model of idealized native speech creates unrealistic expectations in English second language users regarding their own linguistic performance and their self-image as users of English. The study proposes the adoption of Lx speaker in order to challenge the monolingual bias inherent in the native and non-native speaker dichotomy.

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
