Abstract:
This paper addresses the seven varieties of English, introduces the concomitant pedagogic practice of a normal university in the frame of the said English varieties, and illustrates how to incorporate this knowledge into the everyday practices of teaching English as a foreign or second language. Based on years of English language teaching as a foreign language to tertiary students in China, the authors hope that these illustrations and discussions may help improve the pedagogic practice in the English language education.
Keywords: varieties of English; pedagogic practice; implications; EFL
