Abstract:	With the spread of English as a lingua franca (ELF), English texts and speeches are increasingly being produced by none-L1 speakers of English. A recent investigation of the potential cognitive impacts of ELF on mediated communication involves interpreters, translators and non-T&I multilinguals. This presentation reports on the impact on the non-T&I multilinguals who may engage in natural translation and interpreting. A task-based experiment in a simulated workplace setting was designed to investigate how these multilinguals approach ELF material. The material was sourced from authentic conference talks and their corresponding abstracts. Of each talk and abstract, an edited version was created. The study participants listened to one talk and read its abstract in their ELF versions and listened to another talk and read its abstract in their edited versions. After each task, they were asked to rate the comprehensibility of the talk and the abstract that they had just processed on a scale from 1 to 6. They then performed a recall task of the content of each talk and abstract and addressed their handling tactics in a post-task interview. We will report on the perceived comprehensibility of non-native text material and the handling tactics applied by the participants. The results intend to stimulate the discussion of how non-professional interpreters and translators cope with increasingly frequent ELF input.
