Abstract
Over the past years, English has spread its tentacles all over the world like wildfire. That unprecedented propagation of the language led to the emergence of what is technically referred to as New Englishes, which have received sustained attention from researchers in the domain from different perspectives. On that move, Cameroon, where English is one of the official languages (the other being French) is not left behind. In fact, we have witnessed and are still witnessing effective evolution of Nativised Varieties of English in the postcolonial multilingual Cameroonand this is becoming more and more a fertile ground for linguistic and sociolinguistic inquiries. In this research endeavour, focus is on Cameroon Francophone English (hereafter CamFE), one of those varieties of English that has emerged recently and which is now competing with other varieties of English in the country. As the title suggests, the work is a historical appraisal of the recent changes in the area of New Englishes and the implications of this sociolinguistic phenomenon on English Language Teaching in Cameroon. The work adopted the Descriptive Critical Approach for a sound analysis of the phenomenon.
