English as a lingua franca seems undergoing a process of de-standardization, facing the phase of weakening the norm of the language in favor of variation. In addition, the traditional prescriptive English grammar description (T-PEGD) also fails to serve as the lighthouse leading the trend to the desired state. Especially, its Latin and verb-oriented feature is inadequate to encompass all types of English but certain categories of English such as formal and prescriptive ones, which is a significant matter of effective communication, and the trend might worsen the problem. In language standardization, a corresponding weakening of variation may not be necessary in principle [Tore, 2010]. Yet, the traditional standardization process which involves selection step is intrinsically bound to raise certain social arguments such as inclusivity and linguistic diversity issues since it has to choose a particular dialect, ruling out the others. This research presents two themes; first, a deductive solution to the problem which is establishing a stable and consistent norm that is practical and able to encompass all types of language variation, second, an implementation process of the solution which consists of isolation and correction of the flaws of T-PEGD such as complements complement nothing but describe, the verbid forming process is not an inflection but utilization, verbids are not verbs but utilized class words, and interrogative sentences are not made by inversion but placing a question indicator (QI) and/or head interrogative (HI) at the beginning. Lastly, this approach will lead the trend positively, contributing to avoiding its negative effects. 

In actual, as opposed to invented discourse, there is more speech indicating the identity, class, quality, or state of people or things described by a noun or adjective than that indicating the action, or movement represented by a verb. Yet, traditional prescriptive English grammar description (T-PEGD) explains English grammar based on verbs both semantically and syntactically. It causes the description to be inadequate and impractical resulting in T-PEGD not encompassing all types of English but certain categories of English such as formal or prescriptive ones, and therefore, coming to recognize in colloquial English there are utterances and sentences deviating from T-PEGD. This raises the question in English acquisition, especially for L2 learners, how to cope with the incompliances. This workshop introduces POES as an alternative and companion of T-PEGD including a new definition of predicate as a topic carrier (TC), the predicate phrase expression, the six formats of English sentences (SF #1 to #3c), and the way to write sentence expressions, providing assignments to practice POES. Through completing the assignments, the participants will acknowledge the flaws of T-PEGD and come to know how POES produces more sustainable, consistent, and realistic description of English grammar that also comply with everyday English. Finally, this workshop will motivate the participants to think of English language in a new way, feeling English grammar will be in hand to enrich their English life with POES. 

The current cardinal vowel system was systematized by British phonetician Danial Jones who studied at the Sorbonne. First, he chose two open vowels /a/ and /ɒ/ in his primary chart. However, only French and English have two or more open vowels while other 15 major languages in the world have only one open vowel. Second, Danial Jones' back vowels consist of one unrounded vowel and three rounded vowels while the back vowels of the other languages are all rounded. Third, the central vowels are not included in his primary chart, and the mid central vowel is not included at all in his primary and secondary charts even though it is the 2nd most frequently used vowel in English. So, this presentation suggests a new international cardinal vowel set and English vowel grouping method for L2 learners of English, so that they acquire them step by step following divide and conquer strategy called structural vowel acquisition method. This presentation shows a vowel comparison table between languages and presents an international cardinal vowel chart and English vowel grouping chart based on the new cardinal vowels. This research is aimed at practicing cognitive English learning method, and it can make up for the drawbacks of today's popular audiolingualism.
