AB - This classroom-based study examines the views of 48 high school English learners on learning about World Englishes (WE) and English as a lingua franca (ELF) over a semester in two regular classes, as well as the views of two female teachers regarding teaching and assessment in WE/ELF-integrated settings. Pre- and post-surveys indicated statistically significant changes in the students' attitudes toward WE/ELF. Their responses to open-ended questions highlighted a positive outlook on learning diverse forms of English and using them for authentic communication. However, they expressed concerns about the increased content and the stress of exams associated with WE/ELF learning. The teachers noted a rise in student interest and active participation but recommended providing additional instructional materials and activities for conceptual topics. One teacher concentrated on linguistic aspects by utilizing web-based pronunciation materials, while the other suggested the use of online tools for post-class reviews, seeking assistance from experienced colleagues, and participating in training for teaching WE/ELF. Both teachers also suggested performance-based assessment, with one providing an example of an essay task. The study also includes a more in-depth discussion on teaching and assessment in WE/ELF-embedded classes, along with implications for future research.
