People often talk about English as a global language or lingua franca. With more than 350 million people around the world speaking English as a first language and more than 430 million speaking it as a second language, there are English speakers in most countries around the world. Why is English so popular, though? And why has it become a global language?
Here is the answer lies in the slide.

One of the most striking features of our world is its astonishing diversity. This diversity is reflected not only in the rich varieties of plants and animal species and ecosystems in nature, but also in the varieties of human cultures and languages. Both types of diversity are inter-connected. The presentation describes the nature of culture and language from a critical perspective how the role of the individual is essential in preserving one’s linguistic and cultural heritage and in developing one’s native literacies. Some pedagogical implications, strategies, resources, and principles for language teaching and learning are discussed/shared.

Lee, S. (2017, November). The promise of diasporic academics: Potential partnerships between the local and global. Paper presented at the New Zealand Association for Research in Education Conference (NZARE) Annual Conference, Hamilton, New Zealand.
Abstract
This presentation considers the promise of diasporic academics from the viewpoint of one who identifies herself as a diasporic academic. Drawing from Wendy Larner’s (2015) paper, the presentation is a biographical reflection on the benefits and implications of diasporic academics, in particular, international doctoral students, in higher education.
Firstly, I will discuss the definition and examples of a diasporic academic, as well as highlight how diasporic academics are positioned as transnational knowledge brokers in advancing universities' internationalisation strategies and policies. I then focus on a particular group of diasporic academics, international doctoral students. I argue that while they are pivotal in advancing internationalisation plans, the ways in which universities engage (or disengage) with them serve to undermine those internationalisation goals.
Then I provide a brief outline of my personal background to set the context of my reflections. I will speak from my experiences as a former leader in my university’s Postgraduate Students’ Association, share about international student engagement in my own faculty, and highlight the tensions arising from university-wide restructuring and significant staff movements. I then offer suggestions how relationships with international doctoral students as diasporic academics can be nurtured in mutually beneficial ways.
I conclude that leadership in higher education needs to be cognizant of the potential and challenges of engaging with emerging diasporic academics. After all, diasporic academics are potential partners in growing international networks in an age of academic mobility.

Do International Students Face Culture Shocks Currently
Cultural shock is a common term, and especially
when an individual moves from one country to another. Cultural shock can be defined as anxiety produced by a person moving from one familiar culture to another entirely different social or cultural environment. Some argue that despite any preparation beforehand, the feeling is always overwhelming. However, others are of the opinion that cultural shock is not very common today with the new technology where people can communicate with people from such cultures and information is readily available concerning different culture. However, whether a person moves to a country with the same language
, the process of assimilation to new culture can at times be of great emotional turbulence. This mostly applies to international students, which are considered normal. Therefore, international students experience cultural shock.
Being away from home familiar places and faces and getting used to new customs and people, unfamiliar weather changes and foods as well as different study methods can make an individual feel anxious and lonely. Some of the symptoms of culture shock include having feelings of home sickness, worrying and lack of concentration. This is common to all international students who have not been into United States or other countries to familiarize themselves with such cultures.
When a student travels to a foreign country to study, many challenges will be awaiting him or her in the new land. Such a student is usually filled with hope for the future and ambitions (Westrich 1). However, most of these students lack accurate or enough information on what life really is like on the new land (Keny 67). These students will get frustrated when they land and find a different reality on the ground; language barriers, cultural differences, financial difficulties and at times racial segregation (Frank and Maria 56). Some of these students will survive this and pursue their education and achieve their dreams. Others will drop out of schools and colleges and become illegal immigrants while others will go back to their home countries having not achieved their academic goals (Keny 74)
One of the major cultural shocks that students face as their challenges is language differences. Most students who travel from parts of the world where English is not spoken to the United States of America and other western nations will have a big problem living a normal life or even attending schools and colleges which teach in English (Westrich 1). Many students who travel to the USA for studies mainly originate from Africa, where English is not spoken in many countries. Others are from the Middle East where Arabic is the dominant language or Asia where they speak many different languages (Keny 97). Even those students who can speak English will find a variation in the language and will need some time to adj ...
The Education of American Students Should Be Multilingual in 2023 | Future Ed...Future Education Magazine

Should The U.S Develop Multilingual Education Learning a .docxbudabrooks46239
Should The U.S Develop Multilingual Education?
Learning a new language is not an easy thing for a lot of people, and developing a new language
education is neither not an easy thing for a country. Even though develop multi-lingual education is a great
challenge for most of countries in the world, it will still be necessary to do that if a country want to become
stronger and more competitive in the world in the trend that different countries connect closely with each other.
For example, a lot of commercial products in the United States are made in China, Vietnam and so on. And
lots of advanced technologies, ideas and theories from the developed countries have been introducing into the
developing countries. In this situation, it is known that language is a good way for countries to benefit each
other. Without language, the world will not be able to develop in such a fast speed. Even if it is all known how
important multilingual education is, most of the countries in the world are still in lack of enough multi-lingual
education to millennial. It seems not hurtful to lack enough multi-lingual education; actually, lacking multi-
lingual education may lead to some problems to the world. For example, lacking multi-lingual education may
lead to a lot of cultural misunderstandings among the people coming from different cultural background: Most
of Chinese students have a misunderstanding to the U.S high school culture, that is, they think that U.S high
school students all lead a luxurious life with a lot of money, parties and fun. They do not need to worry about
their study because Chinese students think that U.S students can always get into “IVY” schools anyway. In the
meanwhile, the U.S students may also have some cultural misunderstandings to China. Some U.S young people
think that China is now still an old and run-down country without any modern development. Some other people
think that China now is development into an amazingly strong country but in the meantime is becoming a
horrible threat to the western developed countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and so on.
Both of these ideas are not right. In fact, China is an amazing modern country under peaceful rising. In this
situation, it is more necessary for countries to develop multi-lingual education for their young generation.
There are two major misunderstandings to China in the United States. One is that a lot of young
people are still staying in the image of “old China”. Another misunderstanding is that lots of other U.S young
people firmly believe that China is becoming a big threat to the western countries with the amazing
development outcomes and facts. In the meantime, the major misunderstanding to the United States in China
is that Chinese young people think that the United States students all leading a really comfortable life without
the worries of financial situation and education because most of Chinese students.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

21. Focus Groups “China, from Primary school everyone should study English. After that I think I like English, and to go to other countries and speak English. I’m not sure what major I will choose but I think English is very useful.” “If you only know about native language you can’t communicate with people from different countries, but when I speak English I can understand what do they say and what do they want. And we can have a friendship.”
22. Reflections More informative than action-oriented, so difficult to make recommendations Case studies vs. focus groups Better questions about feelings of pressure More on global citizenship Alternative systems of describing motivation
23. Recommendations Market programs focusing on English for academia, business, and communication Lack of personal (integrative) motives which are associated with long-term success and achievement Increase contact opportunites with Americans Curriculum changes geared to international usees of English
24. What’s Next? Fear of continued spread, McDonaldization Imperialism, backlash Predictions Replaced by several groups of dominant languages Many Englishes, contact language Lingua franca Interesting time to be a language researcher
