By the spreading of English in the world, people use it for different purposes with diverse cultural backgrounds and in this rapidly changing world there are more non-native speakers of English than native speakersbecause of fast growing international business. This spread of English has created many varieties of regionalEnglishes called World Englishes.This paper attempts to investigate the general concepts of World Englishes (WEs) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and briefly explains models of World Englishes (Wes), and in what perspectives World Englishes can be considered in the future.
