From the perspective of sociolinguistics, this paper illustrates the necessity and importance of non-standard English acceptance in EFL classroom. Tolerance for non-standard English in EFL classroom not only facilitates learners’ language performance but also supports the call for respect for cultural diversity and recognition of pluralism in a globalized world. This paper attempts to shed some light on the significance of respecting for individual learners and their choices of language in EFL classroom.
