This article reviews the recent literature on English as an International Language (EIL), taking into consideration the main implications of such literature for English language teaching. Relevant research on non-native-speaker (NNS) teachers is discussed, together with their role in the context of the global need for English language teachers, specially in EFL countries. It is claimed that the confluence of recent research on EIL, together with the increasing appreciation of NNS teachers – both in ESL and EFL contexts – are creating the right conditions for the gradual acceptance of English as a Lingua Franca, with the consequence of a decrease in the role of native-speaker teachers in setting the principles and norms on which this lingua franca will be taught in the future.
