In this book, ELF refers to the approach to English that tends to theorize and investigate interaction in international contexts, which does not involve native-speakers/L1-users of the language. ELF is represented by the works of scholars like Jenkins (e.g., 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006a, 2015 and Jenkins, Modiano, & Seidlhofer, 2001) and Seidlhofer (e.g., 1999, 2001, 2002b, 2004, 2006), among others. However, according to Jenkins (2006a) and Prodromou (2007), EIL can be used to convey the same meaning of ELF, but it also refers to the use of English in international contexts between people who do not share the same L1, including interactions between native and non-native speakers of English. Thus, compared with ELF, EIL is more inclusive in scope and configurations of speakers. In this book, however, EIL is used interchangeably with ELF (cf. Jenkins, 2006a).

Such as the education policy-makers and implementers (in other words, the politicians and educational bureaucrats) at different governmental levels, English language teachers and learners at different levels, parents of these learners, textbook publishers, examination providers, and even some leaders of the enterprises which might need their employees to be proficient in English.
