Abstract

The paper starts by highlighting the privileged position of English in Zambia. It then goes on to argue that from the pedagogical point of view, the use of English as the medium of instruction in the Zambian educational system is counter‐productive. The continued insistence on the teaching of ‘standard’ English in Zambia is questioned, not only because it is not practicable, but also because of its sociocultural implications.
