Abstract (2. Language): 
Some researchers call for describing English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), which will result in calls for its standardization. However, there is no need to standardize ELF because English became a lingua franca via teaching based on native-speaker norms. Also, there are not enough descriptions of ELF to claim it is a legitimate variety of English. Besides, studies reveal that teachers and students are highly inclined to native norms. Moreover, some claim learners may decide to learn ELF, but today English is introduced at young ages. These factors clearly show that there is no reason for attempting to standardize ELF.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Kimi araştırmacılar lingua franca olarak İngilizcenin betimlenmesini istemekteler ki bu da onun standartlaştırılmasını istemeyle sonuçlanacaktır. Ancak, lingua franca olarak İngilizcenin standartlaştırılmaması gerekmektedir. Öncelikle, İngilizce mevcut lingua franca durumuna ana dil İngilizcesinin öğretilmesiyle ulaşmıştır. İkinci olarak, lingua franca İngilizcesinin bir diyalekt olarak geliştiğini iddia edecek düzeyde betimlemeler yoktur. Ayrıca araştırmalar İngilizce öğreten ve öğrenenlerin anadil İngilizcesi öğrenme eğiliminde olduklarını göstermektedir. Son olarak, bazı yorumcular kimi öğrencilerin lingua franca boyutlu bir İngilizceyi öğrenmek isteyebileceğini söylemekteler ancak günümüzde dil eğitimine erken yaşlarda başlanıyor olması genç öğrencilerin böyle bir karar alma olgunluğuna erişmiş olmasını güçleştirmektedir. Sonuç olarak, lingua franca olarak İngilizceyi standartlaştırmaya gerek yoktur.
