Summary
Standard English, which is spoken by different accents, is a dialect and one variety of English among many (Trudgill, 1999).The two main varieties of Standard English (SE), which are widely taught to EFL learners in some non-native English-speaking countries, are British English (EngEng) and North American English (NAmEng) (Trudgill & Hannah, 1992). The subject of English teaching methodology has been thoroughly explored by the Russian scholars (Abdulmanova, 1999; Galskova, 2003; Kolesnikov, 2001; Koryakovtseva, 2008; Popov, 2001). Those who wish to learn English, students, and businesspeople are often puzzled while looking through advertisements that promise to enhance English speaking skills: “English in two weeks," “Communicative method of teaching English," "English with native speakers," "Effective rapid method," " English at the subconscious level." With vague taglines and with there being so much new and unknown, doubts about results naturally arise. Can we trust modern technologies? If not, should we give preference to well-established English teaching "brands?" Cambridge, Oxford, Eckersley, and The Headway are all passing into the category of “methodological classics” (Lewis, 1997)
