Title: Tackling Native Speakerism: What Can You Do to Address Discriminatory Ideologies?
Body:
The article discusses native speakerism, an ideology that supposes the superiority of speakers of standard varieties of a target language, in education. Specifically, the article argues that this belief is discriminatory and harmful to learners, and is often fueled by racist ideologies. Using hypothetical profiles of two teachers, the article highlights the negative effects of native speakerism on non-native speakers and encourages readers to challenge these harmful beliefs in their own classrooms and educational settings. While written with teachers in mind, this article could also be used with learners to help them explore the multifaceted ways in which communication is impacted by perceptions regarding language varieties.

Title: Pragmatic Strategies of EFL Students in Requestive E-mails —Focusing on Social Distance Perception
Body:
Read research about social distance and lanaguage learning!
From: https://doi.org/10.18627/jslg.31.4.201602.817
Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze types of pragmatic strategies that are used in English e-mail requests and to focus on EFL students’ e-mail writings in terms of the performance of requests, dividing the recipients by their social distance from the students. DCT was used for the study with nine different contextual settings. Thirty participants were divided by their English proficiency, in order to find out whether or not there are any differences in line with using request strategies at different levels. From the research, the results show that there are differences in using request strategies based on English proficiency. The advanced and intermediate participants preferred conventionally indirect strategies the most, while the beginner groups primarily employed direct strategies. The various request strategies were used in different contextual settings, however conventionally indirect and direct strategies were employed most and the marker please was used in most direct strategies. In contrast to previous studies related to e-mail writing, this study found that the participants used compensation strategy.
