EAL(ESL/EFL)について何か読んでみたいな，と思うならこれが私的一番おススメ。
わかりやすいのは日本人が書いているから？
しかし大変納得がいきます。

また，acrolect, basilect, mesolectの違いの部分も（英語に限らない内容ですが）
個人的な感覚と良く合います。
カウンセルで話すのが凄い緊張したり嫌だったりするのはこれですよねー。
魔女の宅急便のジジの台詞がぴったり。

-------------------------------------
As far as English is learned by immigrants in English-speaking societies such as Britain and the United States, there does not seem to be any problem in learning the language in the sociocultural framework of these societies. However, problems arise when English is learned as a second or foreign language in the societies where English is not used as the native language, because English is no longer used in the Anglo-American sociocultural framework alone.
-------------------------------------
In due course, therefore, the demarcation between the inner circle and the outer circle in the Kachruvian concentric circles will become more obscure and therefore less meaningful, although that between the outer circle and the expanding circle will remain as distinct as it is now. Speaker of English as a native language (genetic and functional - those with the native speaker's intuition who can infinitely generate grammatical and appropriate linguistic forms in a given situation and make judgements on the grammaticality and acceptability of linguistic forms) and speakers of English as a foreign language will remain distinctly separated.
--------------------------------------
As a result, ENL's role as the source of models of correctness will be significantly reduced and ENL speakers will eventually join ESL speakers as the speakers of "one of the varaeties of English" while those ESL speakers in the outer circle will increasingly feel and identify themselves as native speakers of English (their varaieties) and feel entitled to be treated on equal terms with genetically native speakers.
-------------------------------------
The use of English for international communication and for formal and public domestic interaction is acrolectal in that it is characterized by its formality of linguistic forms and by the relative absence of local and indigenous linguistic and sociocultural aspects.
