“…For example, Holliday [ 27 ] sees native-speakerism as an ideology that has negative effects on LTI, as it relies primarily on idealized views of the native speaker (construed mainly as a white middle-class monolingual speaker of Received Pronunciation) that circulate in institutional, educational, political and social discourse. From a poststructuralist perspective, Pederson [ 29 ] states that the native speaker is an idea that exists “in discourse, or in the minds of subjects within discourse” [31, p. 6] but that nevertheless “continues to exert real power in local, national, and international EFL contexts.

“…However, globalization, urbanization, and the Internet have dramatically changed the role of English in the past 20 years. Today, English proficiency is increasingly becoming a basic skill needed for the entire workforce, in the same way that literacy has been transformed in the last two centuries from an elite privilege into a basic requirement for informed citizenship (Finardi & Porcino, 2014;Pederson, 2012).…”

Knowledge Investment is a new and unique concept. Converting the output of scientific research into reality requires a promising start-up. Knowledge economy should be given the priority it deserves and be considered one of the strategic objectives of the development plans in Egypt. With English increasingly being positioned as the pre-eminent language of international communication, the current study aims to propose a project to develop English language teaching in the Egyptian universities in the light of knowledge economy. It seeks to illustrate the key success factors in enhancing knowledge economy through English language teaching. To propose the project, the researchers designed a questionnaire of two parts; the first is to analyse the perceptions of Egyptian EFL postgraduate students and teaching staff of the current effectiveness of college English instruction in the Faculty of Education, Menoufia University. The second part of the questionnaire analyses the participants' perceptions of the goals of teaching English as a foreign language in the knowledge economy era. Based on the findings of the quantitative and qualitative data analysis, the researchers presented the suggested project to develop ELT in the Egyptian universities in the light of knowledge economy.

“…Previous studies in the field of EFL teaching focused on standardized English (American or British English) with limited exposure to the outer circle and expanding circle Englishes (Matsuda, 2000;Pederson, 2012;Kongkerd, 2013;Sung, 2015;Fang & Ren, 2018). Implementation of WEs also focused on students' attitudes and awareness regarding the understanding and intelligibility of the English variations.…”

Three experts evaluated the model’s quality was evaluated in terms of the consistency of its components and the appropriateness of its component descriptions. Based on the results of the needs assessment questionnaire and expert evaluation, three main elements—students’ needs analysis, theoretical concepts, and course components of the World Englishes instructional model—were developed as instructional components comprising course objectives, course contents, media and materials, teaching strategies, and learning activities, as presented in this paper.
