Discussion 5.1 – Local Intelligence

[admin]

My teaching context is mostly focused in private language schools or language schools associated with private universities, so public policy makers do not have much say here. In my experience within my contexts, either academic directors or teachers create the syllabi for classes, following guidelines from accreditation institutions that audit them. I’m not sure how much input is gotten from professional organization or other experts, although I agree this should be implemented. I would like to hear from someone who works in a public institution, though, and get some insight on how their curriculum is created.
I do not see any signs of “relaxation of Standard English norms” or any sort of acknowledgement of World Englishes myself. Does anyone else have any other experience in this sense?
