Amen to everything you say in post and comments.

When we were living in Switzerland and I was qualifying to teach English as a foreign language, even the mention of 'good English' was treated with indrawn breath and sanctimonious preaching. But once I was on my oown teaching in-company, I asked all my groups directly whether they just wanted to know what was commonly used, or did they want to know 'good English' as well? Guess what they replied.
