The concept of World Englishes highlights the diversification of English into different and locally grounded varieties. Rather than
being seen as mere deviations from a single “standard,” forms such as Indian English or Nigerian English show how English adapts to
sociolinguistic contexts shaped by multilingualism and postcolonial histories. These localized varieties differ in vocabulary,
pronunciation, pragmatics, and even grammar, yet remain systematic and rule-governed. Recognizing this reality questions the idea of
a single, uniform English and reframes the language as having multiple centers of influence. For teaching, this means that instead of
promoting only one model, English education should engage critically with linguistic diversity and with the social and cultural values
attached to different varieties.
