In this chapter, Kramsch examines the difference between the kind of language produced by native speakers and that taught in the classroom. She compares how the U.S., France, and Germany define the foreign language norm, or the variety of language used in language teaching. Kramsch suggests that language pedagogy, including the Standards, ignores the variation of language in use. This chapter would interest researchers or curriculum specialists interested in pedagogical theory and language variation.#All5Cs #All #BookSection #Research #PolicyorAdministrative #TheoriesandMethods #Substantialmention #All
