Abstract

In the context of teaching, the use of World Englishes has become increasingly relevant as it allows language teachers to have different approach to language education and a better understanding of the diverse backgrounds of students. Recognizing and valuing the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds of students is highly important for creating a more effective and engaging learning environment. Furthermore, understanding varius forms of spoken English around the world has a strong likelihood to deepen the understanding of the cultures and societies in which they are spoken.
