The main point made by the passage "Given the well-established sociolinguistic fact that languages are shaped by their users, and that nowadays "native speakers are in a minority for [English] language use” (Brumfit 2001, 116), it would make sense for English language teaching to move away from its almost exclusive focus on native varieties of English." (lines 10 to 18) is to:

a) criticise the teaching of language almost exclusively on non-native varieties of English.
b) state that it does not make sense English language teaching keeps its focus almost exclusively on native variety of English.
c) establish that English language teaching must focus on native varieties of English.
d) express that native speakers shape the use of English language and non-native speakers are minorities.
e) state that people who are working in the field of ELF do not want to teach other varieties of English.
