Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The spread of English as an international language (EIL) is so pervasive as to warrant consideration in the media, in business and youth culture, but especially in domestic language planning. Teaching English as an international language (TEIL) is informed by, and has implications for, the societal and educational roles played by Standard English, varieties of English, and other languages known by plurilingual learners and teachers. Tensions and conflicts related to policy makers’ and general language users’ beliefs shape (and challenge) status and acquisition planning mechanisms such as tests, programs, the medium of instruction, curriculum, pedagogical and linguistic practices, and age of entry. TEIL's relationship to norms, standards, World Englishes, English as a lingua franca, native/non‐native speaker (NS/NNS) designations, and plurilingualism fuels controversies, as do policy decisions regarding language status, corpus and acquisition planning, and teacher education. The challenge is for language planning in TEIL to account for multiple stakeholders’ beliefs, interests, and goals.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
