Abstract The global spread of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) has implications for practice in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. This paper presents a study on attitudes toward ELF which is crucial to its incorporation because attitudes influence the learning output in ELT. It uses a mixed method approach through a questionnaire survey on attitudes toward ELF, which contains a modified Verbal Guise Technique (VGT), complemented with semi-structured interviews. Seventy university students and 4 lecturers from three English departments in Japan (Waseda University and Sophia University) and Indonesia (Universitas Negeri Jakarta) were involved in filling out the questionnaire and semi structured interview sessions. The results highlight positive attitudes towards ELF and its incorporation into ELT (Japan: 3.71, and Indonesia: 3.51). In addition, factors which influence these attitudes (aspects related to language learning experience) were proven significant. The interview sessions also suggest ways to incorporate an ELF perspective into the ELT classrooms. Further, it addresses the issue of the gap between theory and practice in research on Global Englishes in Language Teaching (GELT) where a “conceptual gap” is often found. The study is of value to those interested in ELT curriculum evaluation and design to meet the needs of both ELT and ELF community in countries like Japan and Indonesia.

在亚洲英语教学中，英语作为一种林瓜·弗兰卡（ELF）的观点

摘要作为林瓜弗兰卡（ELF），英语的全球传播对英语教学（ELT）课堂的实践产生了影响。本文介绍了对ELF的态度的研究，该态度对于将其纳入至关重要，因为态度会影响ELT的学习成果。它通过问卷调查对ELF的态度采用了一种混合方法，其中包含改进的口头引导技巧（VGT），并辅以半结构化访谈。来自日本（早稻田大学和上智大学）和印度尼西亚（雅加达大学）的三个英语系的七十名大学生和四名讲师参加了问卷调查和半结构化访谈。结果突显了人们对ELF及其纳入ELT的积极态度（日本：3.71；印度尼西亚：3.51）。此外，事实证明，影响这些态度的因素（与语言学习经验有关的方面）也很重要。面试环节还提出了将ELF观点纳入ELT教室的方法。此外，它还解决了全球语言教学研究（GELT）中理论与实践之间的鸿沟问题，该研究经常发现“概念鸿沟”。这项研究对于那些对ELT课程评估和设计感兴趣的人们很有价值，可以满足日本和印度尼西亚等国家的ELT和ELF社区的需求。它解决了全球语言教学研究（GELT）中理论与实践之间的鸿沟问题，该研究经常发现“概念鸿沟”。这项研究对于那些对ELT课程评估和设计感兴趣的人们很有价值，可以满足日本和印度尼西亚等国家的ELT和ELF社区的需求。它解决了全球语言教学研究（GELT）中理论与实践之间的鸿沟问题，该研究经常发现“概念鸿沟”。这项研究对于那些对ELT课程评估和设计感兴趣的人们很有价值，可以满足日本和印度尼西亚等国家的ELT和ELF社区的需求。
