ELF: English as a lingua franca
The Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English
(VOICE), a collection of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
currently under construction, defines lingua franca as an
additionally acquired language system that serves as a
means of communication for speakers from different speech
communities, who use it to communicate with each other but
for whom it is not their native language.
Early findings from the VOICE corpus tentatively identify
a number of features which point to systematic lexicogrammatical differences between native-speaker English and
ELF, for example dropping the third person present tense ‘s’
(e.g. she wear), omitting definite and indefinite articles,
insertion of prepositions (e.g. can we discuss about this
issue). These features are not a threat to comprehension, as
they involve typical errors that most English teachers would
correct and remediate. However, Seidlhofer (2004) points out
that they appear to be generally unproblematic and do not
cause an obstacle to communicative success in ELF.
The work of Jenkins (1996, 2000, 2004, 2005) has also
been very influential in relation to the teaching of pronunciation
for ELF. Her research finds that a number of items common to
most native-speaker varieties of English were not necessary
in successful ELF interactions; for example, the substitution
of voiceless and voiced th with /t/ or /s/ and /d/ or /z/ (e.g.
think became sink or tink, and this became dis or zis). Jenkins
argues that such features occur regularly in ELF interactions
and do not cause intelligibility problems.
Problems may arise in the (perhaps unfair) equation
between a reduced or ‘stripped down’ ELF syllabus and an
impoverished experience of the L2. Indeed, it could be argued
that learners of any language always end up producing less
than the input they are exposed to, and that if that input itself
is deliberately restricted, then even less will be the outcome.
(O’KEEFFE, A., MCCARTHY, M. & CARTER, R. From corpus to classroom.
Language Use and Language Teaching. Cambridge, CUP. 2007. Adaptado)
The VOICE has identified the insertion of prepositions
as an emerging pattern in ELF. An example of such a
linguistic deviation is found in alternative

Germany's World Cup-winning captain and coach
Beckenbauer dies at 78
By Reuters
German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer died at the
age of 78. His remarkable career lasted over 50 years.
Beckenbauer was an amazing player, coach, a
football expert, and he greatly impacted the sport. His
commanding presence on the pitch, both with West
Germany and Bayern Munich, earned him acclaim. He
played a key role in Bayern Munich’s nest years in the
mid-1970s. During this time, the club achieved three
European Cups and Bundesliga titles. As a manager,
Beckenbauer won the 1972 European Championship. In
1974, he was the captain when his team won the World
Cup.
Politicians, fans, colleagues, and football clubs
reacted to Beckenbauer’s death. He remains a symbol of
German football excellence.

Girls play outside in nature less than boys do, even at the
age of two, according to the first national survey of play among
preschool-age children in Britain. While researchers expect to see
older children socialised to particular gender roles, they were
shocked to see similar patterns of behaviour starting to emerge at
such a young age. They fear it could have long-term implications
for girls’ health, as girls are less physically active as they get
older and are more likely than boys to have difficulties with their
mental health.
The study also found that preschool-age children from a
minority ethnic background play less outdoors than their white
counterparts, and children in urban areas play less outdoors than
those in rural areas. “The results highlight inequalities in play
even in the youngest age group, which may exacerbate existing
inequalities in health,” the report concluded.
The research surveyed more than 1,100 parents and carers
of children aged two, three and four. They found that preschool
children spent approximately four hours a day at play, of which
one hour and 45 minutes was spent playing outdoors, mainly in
back gardens at home. Away from home, children played in
playgrounds and green spaces, with the most adventurous play
usually associated with indoor play centres.
“The popularity of these play centers is growing,” the
report said. “This may be driven by indoor play centres providing
adventurous play experiences that overcome some of the barriers
to outdoor adventurous play such as traffic, weather and safety
concerns.”
Sally Weale. Girls play outside less than boys even at two years old, UK survey reveals.

According to the preceding text, judge the following item.
It is correct to infer from the text that safety is a factor that stops parents from letting their children play in indoor play centers.

Who votes for the Academy Awards?
After the glitzy red-carpet arrivals, the feel-good
montages, and the host’s opening roast, the Oscars
ceremony switches to its raison d’être: revealing the
previous year’s highest achievers in cinema. One after
another, the presenters list the nominees, open a lavish
envelope, and reveal the winner in each category. The
champions breathlessly accept their awards and, over and
over, effusively thank their mothers, God, and the
academy... What is this obscure body? The academy—that
is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—is the
organization that votes for the Oscar winners.
The academy is an exclusive Hollywood institution
that has its own governing body, 17 separate branches, and
a thorough rule book on membership eligibility and voting
processes. Since 2016, when the board announced that it
would diversify its membership, the academy has grown to
about 8,000 members. It doesn’t publicize the names of all
those members, but each spring it releases a list of the
individuals it has invited to join its ranks.
The rest of the academy members are not listed,
but we can guess who a few are by looking at some of the
requirements to join the institution. To qualify, an individual
must work in the film industry. This means that neither
individuals who work exclusively in television nor members
of the press may join. Oscar nominees are often considered
for membership automatically, while other candidates must
be sponsored by two active members of the branch they
wish to join. Each branch also has its own specific
requirements.

Climate crisis is making days longer,
study finds
Melting of ice is slowing planet’s rotation and
could disrupt internet traffic, financial
transactions and GPS. The climate crisis is
causing the length of each day to get longer,
analysis shows, as the mass melting of polar ice
reshapes the planet.
The phenomenon is a striking demonstration of
how humanity’s actions are transforming the
Earth, scientists said, rivalling natural processes
that have existed for billions of years. The
change in the length of the day is on the scale of
milliseconds but this is enough to potentially
disrupt internet traffic, financial transactions and
GPS navigation, all of which rely on precise
timekeeping.
The length of the Earth’s day has been steadily
increasing over geological time due to the
gravitational drag of the moon on the planet’s
oceans and land. However, the melting of the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets due to
human-caused global heating has been
redistributing water stored at high latitudes into
the world’s oceans, leading to more water in the
seas nearer the equator. This makes the Earth
more oblate – or fatter – slowing the rotation of
the planet and lengthening the day still further.
The planetary impact of humanity was also
demonstrated recently by research that showed
the redistribution of water had caused the
Earth’s axis of rotation – the north and south
poles – to move. Other work has revealed that
humanity’s carbon emissions are shrinking the
stratosphere.
“We can see our impact as humans on the
whole Earth system, not just locally, like the rise
in temperature, but really fundamentally, altering
how it moves in space and rotates,” said Prof
Benedikt Soja of ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
“Due to our carbon emissions, we have done
this in just 100 or 200 years. Whereas the
governing processes previously had been going
on for billions of years, and that is striking.”
