“Probably the best-known and most often cited dimension of the WE (World Englishes) paradigm is the model of concentric circles: the ‘norm-providing’ inner circle, where English is spoken as a native language (ENL), the ‘norm-developing’ outer circle, where it is a second language (ESL), and the ‘norm-dependent’ expanding circle, where it is a foreign language (EFL). Although only ‘tentatively labelled’ (Kachru, 1985, p.12) in earlier versions, it has been claimed more recently that ‘the circles model is valid in the senses of earlier historical and political contexts, the dynamic diachronic advance of English around the world, and the functions and standards to which its users relate English in its many current global incarnations’ (Kachru and Nelson, 1996, p. 78).”
