world, hence the term “World Englishes. To be understood by a
global audience of English users, writers should use Standard
English in written communication. This consists of “the
conventional vocabulary and usage of educated speakers and
writers of English” (Roberts & Turgeon, 1998).
3. Global communication also involves writing in a culturally
sensitive way by using bias-free language.
