A teacher in a public school encourages 9th-grade students to discuss local cultural heritage in English, valuing their identity markers, such as accents, and focusing on intelligibility and communication strategies rather than the imitation of a British or American native speaker.

An ELT coordinator requires all teachers to use a native speaker only policy, arguing that for English to be a Lingua Franca, students must first master a codified, standard variety to avoid interference from Portuguese.

A teacher focuses exclusively on the study of systematized grammatical rules and technical vocabulary to prepare students for high-stakes exams, viewing the student as a subject-commodity destined for the labor market rather than a social agent.

A high school teacher adopts a new ELF Textbook that provides a list of specific non-native grammatical deviations that all students must memorize as the new correct global variety of English.

Students are instructed to watch Hollywood movies and copy the behavior and pronunciation of American actors, as native-speaker standards remain the only legitimate model for academic success in a globalized world.
