      Summary: In this article, we argue that the European Union, in which English has over the past couple of decades become the de facto lingua franca, should acknowledge the usefulness of English in this role, and that instead of ignoring what is happening in practice, should build English into EU language policy. This, we believe, will mean coming to terms with the kinds of language forms and skills involved in the use of European ELF (English as a Lingua Franca), and a corresponding move away from outdated assumptions that European speakers of English (if they ‘must’ use English at all) should defer to native English norms (the kind that are taught in traditional English as a Foreign Language, or EFL, classes).
