An Access into the Reality of Using Non-Native English Materials

Recently, the number of people using English as a lingua franca (ELF) is believed to have increased dramatically. This means that people from different geographical and cultural backgrounds communicate with not only native speakers (NSs) but also non-native speakers (NNSs) of English. Accordingly, it is not surprising that NNSs have already outnumbered their native counterparts Also, Coskun (2010) confirms that this increasing number of NNSs has led to the appearance of different English varieties and has influenced some important issues related to English language teaching (ELT).
