摘要
The globalization and nativization processes of English resulted in the appearance of a large number of regional varieties of English. Concerning their accent between the single norm theory and the multiple norm differences, there has always been a debate theory. This paper argues against the ＇standard-nonstandard＇ classification of English accents upheld by the former, and revises the concept of ＇the three concentric circles of English＇ proposed by the latter, providing some helpful tips on the current instruction of listening and speaking in China＇s colleges and universities.
英语全球化与本土化的结果是大量英语地域变体的出现。关于英语变体之间的口音差异，英语界一直有“唯一标准”论和“多元标准”论之争。本丈驳斥了“唯一标准”论封英语口音进行简单的“标准”与“非标准”划分的做法，同时修正了“多元标准”论的“三大同心圈”理论，并对中国当前高校英语听说教学提出相应的建议!
