Group 1
Native Speakers
Native speakers of English are people whose
first language is English.
They learned English when they were children.

They think in English. They use it naturally.
Usually native speakers of English are people
from English-speaking countries like the USA,
Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Ireland, etc.
Foreign language
A foreign language is a language indigenous to
another country. It is also a language not spoken
in the native country of the person referred to, i.e.
an English speaker living in Japan can say that
Japanese is a foreign language to him or her.
These two characterisations do not
exhaust the possible definitions,
however, and the label is
Foreign occasionally applied in ways that are

variously misleading or factually
Language inaccurate.
Some children learn more than one

language from birth or from a very
young age: they are bilingual or
multilingual.

Schneider's Shows difference between realism and idealism.
Dynamic Model
(2003, 2007) This is a model devised by the Austrian-German
linguist Edgar W. Schneider to account for the
development of English in former colonies of
Britain.
It stresses the manner in which overseas varieties
of English have evolved in specific ecologies and
strives to account for how certain features have
emerged.
Contact occupies a central position in
Schneider’s model, both between dialects
present among settlers as well as between
Schneider's English speakers and those of indigenous

languages at various colonial locations.
Dynamic Model
(2003, 2007) Contact-induced change produced differing
results depending on the social and
demographic conditions under which it took
place, i.e. on the local ecology, and on its
linguistic triggers, e.g. code-switching, code-
alternation, bilingualism or non-prescriptive
adult language acquisition.

Dynamic Model

territory which starts bilingualism.

enabled the Philippines to become a choice destination for foreign
