3. Globalization
Globalization connects nations through
interdependence and interconnectedness, integrating
economic trade, technology, and communication.
Japan, for example, values education and has
increased foreign professors and students, expanded
foreign language instruction programs, and sent
students overseas. To understand business, communities,
cultures, and economies must exchange languages, as
they all do. This is a key aspect of globalization.
4. TRANSNATIONAL MOBILITY OF THE
POPULATION
It has to do with the flow of new residents. A family
moving to another nation is an illustration of this. This
family must be able to communicate in the language of
the destination nation. for the simple reason that they
must communicate with others there. It will be simpler
for you to stay in a country if you know the language. If
you are familiar with their language, your experience
will be different.
5. SPREAD OF NEW TECHNOLOGY
Since the 1990s, the widespread use of the internet, and
later of smart devices, has expanded the necessity of
both receptive language skills like reading and listening
and English multilingualism. As evidence to support this,
English was the very first language that was used on the
internet and more than two-thirds of the information on
the internet consisted of English by the mid-90s.
Technology makes it incredibly simple for people to
learn new languages because it has grown to such a
huge scale in recent years and shows no signs of
slowing down.
7. INDIVIDUAL
MULTILINGUALISM
explores how individuals
use multiple languages in
their daily lives, how the
brain processes these
languages, how speakers
switch between languages,
how language impacts
identity, and the process of
language loss and
maintenance.
Receptive
multilingualism
Communication in receptive
multilingualism is typically
informal. The emphasis is on
communication interchange
and interaction efficiency,
not grammar rules, in
informal yet pragmatically
regulated listening and
speaking learning.
BILINGUALISM
Speaking and understanding
two languages with ease is
referred to as bilingualism. In
most cases, this indicates that a
person has achieved proficiency
in two languages and is
proficient in both. Growing up in
a bilingual family or picking up a
second language later in life
are two situations in which
bilingualism can arise.
SOCIETAL
MULTILIN
GUALISM
refers to the diverse
range of languages within a
nation, region, or community,
where these languages
serve various purposes and
have varying social
statuses, highlighting the
linguistic diversity present
in a society
or nation.
Productive
multilingualism
Communication in both formal
and informal settings is
productive multilingualism. All
forms of L2 learning and
natural language acquisition,
particularly for picking up a
lingua franca. Any language
function that isn't
constrained by domains or
functions is available.
MULTILINGUALISM
Beyond being bilingual, being
multilingual means having the
capacity to communicate in and
comprehend three or more
languages. Multilingual people
can interact and communicate
with people from various
linguistic origins because they
are proficient in numerous
languages.
