The document discusses themes around world language education, bilingualism, and developing a sense of worldmindedness. It notes that English has become the dominant foreign language taught globally, but that Mandarin Chinese may have a unique role in fostering intercultural understanding. Effective language education needs to move beyond teaching only admiration of foreign cultures, and instead promote recognition that cultures influence each other and are not confined within national boundaries in today's interconnected world.

African literacy and languages
This document discusses African literacy and languages in the context of globalization and education. It presents perspectives on whether education systems should teach students multiple languages and whether the author would educate their own children in more than one language. It also addresses competing notions of whether education priorities should be global or local. Several thinkers are cited discussing the politics of literacy and whose interests are served by different approaches to education, language, and literacy. Case studies focus on these issues in South Africa, including the country's linguistic diversity and challenges balancing multiple languages in its education system.

Integrated History Unit: How can Friendships and Dance shape History?
This integrated unit of work explores the connections between Aboriginal and European histories in Western Australia through the lens of history, English, and the arts. Students will examine how friendships and dance shaped interactions between Indigenous and colonial peoples, and how Australia's longest surviving culture maintains connections to country. Activities include analyzing primary sources, an incursion from an Noongar elder, creating artworks, performing dances, reading texts about local Noongar stories, and developing multimodal presentations. The goal is for students to develop understanding of the endurance of Aboriginal cultures and the importance of telling different stories from the past.
Linguistic Imperialism
The document discusses the theory of linguistic imperialism proposed by Robert Phillipson. Linguistic imperialism refers to the dominance of English asserted through establishing structural and cultural inequalities between English and other languages. Phillipson argues that English dominance is maintained in former colonies and increasingly in Europe through policies promoting English be taught monolingually from an early age with native English speakers. This can endanger other languages and local cultural identity over time. The document also examines arguments used to promote English learning.
Linguistic Imperialism
Robert Phillipson argues that linguistic imperialism persists in the form of English language dominance promoted through education systems globally. He defines linguistic imperialism as the process by which some languages are used and promoted more than others due to power structures and ideologies. Phillipson examines the "hidden past" of English language teaching and its role in perpetuating linguistic hierarchies that privilege English and disadvantage local languages. He contends that developed countries exert outsized influence over language policies and pedagogies in developing countries through educational aid programs.

Language standardization: How and why
The document discusses language standardization, including how and why languages become standardized. It notes that standardization is a prescriptive process that develops a standard variety of a language. Languages typically become standardized through resources like dictionaries, grammars, pronunciation guides from linguistic institutions, constitutional status as an official language, use in public domains like courts and schools, literary works, and popularity/acceptance in the community. Establishing a standard variety aims to promote national cohesion. The standard variety often reflects the language of higher socioeconomic groups. Examples are given of standardization processes and debates in countries like Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde. Related scientific papers and books on topics like the politics of standardization and its

Group-5_PHILIPPINE-ENGLISH.pptx
The document discusses the power and politics of the English language in the Philippines. It summarizes Braj Kachru's model of concentric circles of English and applies it to analyze the role and impact of English in Philippine society and education. Key points include: (1) English provides social mobility but access is unequal and benefits the elite, (2) Schools promote neoliberal ideals and support economic development policies, (3) English proficiency determines educational and career opportunities, perpetuating class divides. While Kachru's model is useful, it fails to capture how postcolonial countries now share interests in global capitalism and cosmopolitan lifestyles. Overall, the document examines the interplay between English, politics,
Language standardization: How and why
The document discusses language standardization, including how varieties become standardized through mechanisms like dictionaries, grammars, pronunciation standards set by institutions, and effective public use. It establishes standards to promote national cohesion but can associate nonstandard varieties with lower prestige. Examples are given of standardization in Brazil, where television and actors helped establish an unofficial spoken standard based on Rio de Janeiro Portuguese. Scientific papers examine topics like the effects of standardization on attitudes and ideologies, and how standardization relates to contextualization in leadership across countries.

The future of english as a global language
The document discusses the past, present, and potential future of English as a global language. It outlines how English spread through British colonialism and American economic dominance. While English currently dominates domains like education, business, and pop culture, its future is uncertain as other languages and cultures gain influence. Regional languages may replace English, or it could remain a lingua franca. English teaching professionals have a role to teach the language respectfully without threatening other identities.

ENGLISH PRESENT AND FUTURE
This document outlines the key topics to be covered in a class on the English language:
1. The history of English and influences that have shaped it such as Latin, Scandinavian languages, and French.
2. How English has continued to change and grow through vocabulary additions and grammatical shifts in response to political, social, and technological developments.
3. Arguments that English has become one of the most important languages in the world due to the historical power and influence of English-speaking populations and its role as a global lingua franca, especially in fields like science, technology, and business. However, its future dominance is uncertain given population growth trends in other parts of the world.
Post Brexit EU and the position of English - Robert Phillipson
The distinguished scholarship of Bessie Dendrinos builds on analysis of the politics of education that often constrains social and linguistic justice. English as a hegemonic language in many societies, and in education, nationally and internationally, serves to open doors of capitalist opportunity and privilege for some but closes them for many. Whether a language policy is linguicist (or linguo-racist, to use Bessie’s term) or not is an empirical question. European integration activities since 1945 – ending wars, creating a common market, the euro, etc. – all depend on language policies, supported by translation and interpretation. Prior to 1973, when the UK, Ireland, and Denmark joined the EU, no use was made of English, and French was primus inter pares. In 2016 English is indisputably the dominant language in the internal affairs of EU institutions and of many of its funded ‘actions’. The privileging of English (in finance, research, the Bologna process, etc.) is precisely what Winston Churchill sought to achieve, the entrenchment of Anglo-American power by linguicist and other means, economic, political, and military. The role of language in relation to the many crises of the EU, among them Brexit and the disastrous financial austerity policies imposed on Greece, needs analysis. This is a major challenge for scholars in language policy and language in education policy. For analysis of some of the complexity of the issue, see my article ‘Myths and realities of “global” English’ in the journal Language Policy, on-line from June 2016.
