The UK is facing important changes in the near future, with Brexit, i.e. the UK leaving the European Union (EU), looming ever more closely on the horizon. These important political and economic changes will certainly have an influence on Europe as a whole, and have had linguistic consequences for the English language, such as Brexit-related neologisms (Lalić-Krstin & Silaški, 2018). As Modiano (2017a) suggests, Brexit might also have an influence on the status of the English language in the EU, in particular with regard to the dominance of native speaker varieties. In this article, we discuss the possibility of the use of a neutral European English variety in the EFL classrooms of two EU member states, i.e. Sweden and Germany. Based on a survey among 80 practitioners in secondary schools (first results were presented in Forsberg, Mohr & Jansen, 2019), the study investigates attitudes towards target varieties of English in general, and European English or ‘Euro-English’ (cf. Jenkins, Modiano & Seidlhofer, 2001; Modiano 2003) in particular, after the referendum in June 2016.

EFL 课堂​​上的欧洲英语?

英国在不久的将来面临着重大变化,英国脱欧,即英国退出欧盟(EU),越来越近在咫尺。这些重要的政治和经济变化肯定会对整个欧洲产生影响,并对英语产生语言影响,例如与英国脱欧相关的新词(Lalić-Krstin & Silaški, 2018)。正如 Modiano (2017a) 所暗示的那样,英国脱欧也可能对英语在欧盟的地位产生影响,特别是在母语者的主导地位方面。在本文中,我们讨论了在两个欧盟成员国(即瑞典和德国)的 EFL 课堂​​中使用中性欧洲英语变体的可能性。基于对 80 名中学从业者的调查(第一个结果在 Forsberg、Mohr &
