在一个英语越来越多地用于国际环境的时代，学生是否应该遵守英语母语者的规范，这是近年来激烈辩论的问题，尤其是在本杂志的页面上。然而，这并不是一场学生和课堂教师的声音都被听到的辩论，本文试图从课堂的角度来看待这个问题。它主要基于两个平行的问卷调查，调查学生和教师对遵守母语规范的态度。总的来说，这些调查从45个以上国家的学生和教师那里得到了近600份答复。文章认为，学生的观点可能与教师和学者的期望不同，我们必须意识到这些观点。
The question of whether students should conform to native-speaker norms of English, in an era when English is increasingly used in international contexts, is one which has been keenly debated in recent years, not least in the pages of this Journal. However, it is not a debate in which the voices of students and classroom teachers have been heard, and this article attempts to give a classroom perspective on the issue. It is based largely on two parallel questionnaire surveys, which looked at students’ and teachers’ attitudes to the question of conforming to native-speaker norms. Taken together, the surveys drew almost 600 responses from students and teachers in over 45 countries. The article argues that students’ views may di¤er from the expectations of teachers and academics, and that it is important for us to be aware of these views.
