This study investigated the attitudes pre-service English teachersdEnglish majors, students minoring in
English, graduate students, and internsdhave towards English as a lingua franca. Results showed differences
concerning the native speaker of English as a role model and the importance of exposure to a
variety of Englishes. Interns and English majors expressed higher expectations for attaining native-like
proficiency; English minors showed less reliance on a native-speaker model. To help future educators
develop greater awareness of the role of English in today's world, teacher preparation programs in
settings where English is a foreign language should reflect a global Englishes perspective.
