I'm not saying ESL should be taught in a manner that divorces one's own culture, what I've been thinking about is if culture can be separated from basic ESL acquistion to help learners have one focused goal to aim for, and help ESL teachers get on the same page, despite being from English countries all across the world?

I understand there is nothing we can do about accents but I'm wondering if it's possible to create a base ESL course that all English speakers can agree on?

Once again, I'm just thinking outloud. While it may never exist, the possibilty is intriguing...
