English is the most important language worldwide both for native and non-native speakers. While native English speakers are less than other languages like Spanish or Chinese, English has more second language speakers. English originated in England and has become one of the most widely spoken languages. There are many reasons to study English, including that it is essential for work, is the universal language, will allow one to access new cultures and travel without problems, and is the most widely learned second language. However, some criticize English as dominating other languages and representing the power of certain countries over others with less power. Respect for other growing languages and lost languages is also demanded.

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 as an international language
English has become an international language due to British colonization between the 17th-19th centuries, spreading the language around the world. It is now spoken as a first or second language in many countries globally. English is used widely in business, science, technology and other domains. Some key writers like Shakespeare and Mark Twain helped popularize English through their influential literary works. However, British colonization had both positive impacts like spreading education and civilization, as well as negative impacts such as destroying native cultures and causing population declines among indigenous groups.
South Asian Englishes
1. South Asian Englishes refers to the varieties of English spoken in South Asia, which developed due to British colonialism and the continued use of English in government, education, and business in the region.
2. English has taken on new roles and meanings in South Asia, with locals claiming ownership over how they speak the language. While English teaching aims for standard British pronunciation and grammar, the languages inevitably interact, producing new vocabulary, pronunciations, and grammatical features.
3. South Asian English varieties are characterized by features like code-switching, question tags with "isn't" and "isn't it", dropping initial consonant clusters, and borrowing or calquing words from local languages.
ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE BY IRFAN
As global communication expands throughout the world, so does the need for a global language. A language that is recognized and understood by people everywhere. In many parts of the world that language has been established, English. In most countries around the globe the English language can be found in some form or another, whether it be an international news broadcast, such as CNN, or a Chicago Bulls tee-shirt. "What centuries of British colonialism and decades of Esperanto couldn’t do, a few years of free trade, MTV, and the Internet has. English dominates international business, politics, and culture more than any other language in human history." (Rohde) For this world to be truly global, there must be some commonality or ease of communication. "If trade and tourism around the world are going to operate and a global economy function and a global culture flourish, a widely shared, reasonably accessible language is requisite."

English as an official language
This presentation argues that English should be adopted as an official language of Bangladesh. It traces the global spread and dominance of English from the 18th century due to British colonialism and American economic and cultural influence in the 20th century. English is now the primary language of science, technology, education, and business. Adopting English as an official language would provide access to greater information resources, promote literacy, financial benefits, and educational success for citizens of Bangladesh.

This document provides an overview of the book "The Future of English?" which examines whether English will retain its status as the global language in the 21st century given significant social, economic, and demographic changes underway. While English is currently preeminent, trends like the rise of Asia and changes in education suggest its future status is less certain than assumed. The book aims to stimulate discussion on how the changing global landscape may impact the learning and use of English internationally in the coming decades.

This document discusses a book that examines the future status of the English language in the 21st century given global trends. It argues that while English is not immediately threatened, its dominant position may be challenged in some regions and uses as the world undergoes economic, demographic, and political changes over the next 20-30 years. English is in a transition period as it takes on new forms around the world. The future is more complex than assumed given these significant transitions in the global environment in which English is used.

English as Global Language
English has become a global language due to the historical political and economic power of its native speakers. A global language is characterized by its large number of native and non-native speakers, its geographical distribution, and its use in international organizations and diplomacy. English first spread globally through the British Empire between the 17th and 20th centuries, institutionalizing it in former colonies. American cultural dominance in the 20th century through music, film, technology and business has further consolidated English's position as the dominant global language today. English is now used internationally across many domains including academia, science, aviation, business and pop culture.
Lia conference dc_colored
The document discusses the rise of English as a global language. It attributes this to Britain's colonial expansion which spread English around the world from the 15th-19th centuries. As the US emerged as a superpower in the 20th century, it reinforced English's role globally. English became entrenched through political, economic, technological, and cultural developments and is now the primary language of domains like education, media, and international relations.
The Future of English
English will become the universal language in the future to help people communicate globally more effectively. An international summit will choose a universal language, selecting English over Chinese due to China's economic issues and the structural differences between Mandarin and other languages. English will incorporate abbreviations and words from all varieties of English into a Global English Dictionary to allow for fast communication online and through technology. However, relying solely on abbreviated English risks losing meaningful aspects of language and culture over time.
The possible future of english
The document discusses the possible future of the English language based on current trends. It notes that English has spread widely and taken on cultural adaptations in different places. As more countries adopt English but put their own spin on it through culture, it will become more difficult to understand all the variations. The number of second language English speakers will likely surpass first language speakers within 50 years. This will cause the language to change unpredictably as it becomes more influenced by a global, rather than any single country, community of users. The future is one where English exists in many diverse dialects around the world.
Learning research-english-next
This document provides an introduction and overview of key trends related to the future of English as a global language. It summarizes that English may no longer have an unassailable global position due to complex changes in demographics, economics, technology, and society. As English spreads globally, it raises linguistic, educational, economic, cultural, political, and ethical issues. The future role of English will depend on long-term trends and the growth of countries like China and India, where many people speak English as a second language.

On The Origin And Nature Of Standard English
The document discusses the origins and nature of Standard English. It traces the term "Standard English" back to 1138 when it referred to military standards or flags. By the 18th century, it was applied to language and literature. Standard English emerged from the East Midland dialect becoming dominant due to various political, communication, and industrial factors. Linguists disagree on the definition of Standard English and whether it refers to grammar, orthography, or a particular accent. The document concludes that while there is debate around Standard English, English language teachers should be aware of variations but focus on exposing students to authentic materials to familiarize them with English broadly.
The importance of the english language
English is the most widely spoken language globally, being one of the official languages of the United Nations and being spoken as a first language by about 400 million people across 12 nations. Knowledge of English is essential in modern society for education, business, science, technology, communication, and travel. Mastering English opens up opportunities for higher education abroad, employment, learning about other cultures, and addressing global issues.
English , concept funcation nature importance of english
The document discusses the concept, functions, nature, and importance of the English language. It defines language as a system of communication using sounds and symbols. It describes English as receptive due to adopting words from other languages, unique in its structure and usage, dynamic as it constantly changes, and creative with the richest literature. English is also productive in sentence formation and symbolic in representing ideas. The document highlights English's importance as the language of international business, movies, understanding other languages, flexibility of expression, and use on the internet.
Standard english (slide)
Standard English refers to the accepted form of the English language used for official purposes in Anglophone countries. It encompasses grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. In Britain, Standard English is associated with Received Pronunciation and UK Standard English, while in the US it is associated with General American.
There are some differences between British and American English, primarily in pronunciation but also in vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. The differences are not huge, as the languages have remained relatively similar compared to other languages that diverged more after colonial periods.
World Englishes refers to localized varieties of English that have developed in former British colonies and areas influenced by the US. Over time, English varieties have emerged and adapted to local contexts

This presentation concludes an overall idea of problems arising through teaching standard English in the UK.
Importance of english language
English is an important international language for several reasons:
1) It is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide as either a first or second language.
2) English serves as a lingua franca that allows people who speak different languages to communicate.
3) Knowledge in many fields such as science, technology, business, and academia is primarily documented and shared in English, making it important for access to information.
English as a global language grace
English has become the dominant global language due to British colonial expansion and American economic power in the 20th century. It fulfills the role of a global language by being widely used for international communication in domains like business, academia, politics and pop culture. While a global language has benefits like being a lingua franca, it also threatens linguistic diversity and minority languages. The future of English is uncertain, but it is currently in a unique position of being learned more widely as a second or foreign language than as a native tongue.
The English Language
English originated from Germanic dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century. It is now spoken by over 1.3 billion people as either a first or second language. English is the third most commonly spoken native language worldwide, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It is also widely learned and used as a lingua franca, being an official language of many countries and international organizations.
English, an international language 2
English is the most important international language because it is widely used for air travel, computing, pop music, politics, science, and more. As travel and communication have become faster through planes, television, phones, and other technologies, a common language is needed, and that language is English. English is the first language of countries like Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US, and is an official second language in many other countries as well. While there are some differences in vocabulary and grammar between different varieties of English, like British and American English, learning the language can provide benefits for international communication and opportunities.
Models of English
- Three scholars developed similar models to characterize varieties of World Englishes: Tom McArthur's wheel model (1987), Manfred Gorlach's circle model (1988), and Braj Kachru's model (1988).
- McArthur's model had a central "World Standard English" surrounded by regional standards and emerging standards, and outer local varieties. However, it conflated different types of English and excluded European Englishes.
- Gorlach's model addressed some criticisms but was also inconsistent in excluding English as a foreign language.
- Kachru's model conceptualized Englishes more broadly, with an Inner Circle of norm-providing English varieties, an Outer Circle
Linguistic Imperialism
The document discusses the theory of linguistic imperialism, which argues that the dominance and spread of the English language asserts cultural and structural inequalities between English and other languages. It describes key aspects of the theory put forth by Robert Phillipson, including the idea that English is best taught monolingually, that native English speakers are ideal teachers, and that increased use of English does not negatively impact language skills. It also discusses how the dominance of English threatens endangered languages and cultural identity in various countries and contexts.
English in Europe and Euro-English
Short presentation about the role of English within the countries of the European Union. Including a discussion on 'Euro-English' as a (possibly) emerging new variety of English.
English as a Lingua Franca pre-sessional English
The document discusses English as a lingua franca (ELF) in global academic contexts. It explores the use of English in university instruction and debates around accepting non-standard varieties of English. Some key points discussed include: the definition of ELF as communication between speakers with different first languages; the growth of English medium instruction globally but especially in Europe; and surveys finding most academics prioritize communication over correctness or conformity to native standards when grading students' English. It also presents opposing views, with some arguing only standard English should be accepted and others believing there is no single native standard and intelligibility is most important.
Importance of English Language
English is the most widely spoken language globally and is important for personal and professional success. It is labeled the universal language as it is present in some form in most parts of the world. English remains a major medium of instruction in schools and is necessary for pursuing fields like technology, medicine, and science. It is also the dominant business language and is essential for global careers and international business communication. Those fluent in English can earn up to 34% more than non-English speakers. English has become the primary language of the internet, with over 55% of online content in English. Learning English boosts confidence and expands opportunities for communication, education, and employment worldwide.

This document provides an overview of English language teaching. It defines TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) as focusing on learners who will use English daily in addition to their native language, such as immigrants. TESL teaching develops basic survival skills. TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) occurs in students' home country and is academically-based, developing a range of skills. While the distinction between TESL and TEFL is becoming less important, TESL generally ignores literature and focuses on functional skills, while TEFL students have less exposure to English outside class. The document then discusses English language teaching in Algeria.

English has become the dominant global language due to historical factors like British colonialism in the 18th-19th centuries. As the British Empire expanded across North America, Africa, Asia, and Australia, English was imposed and spread through colonization. It was taught not for educational purposes but to facilitate control and administration of the colonies by British rulers and soldiers. Today English plays a major role as a global lingua franca, with native, second language, and foreign language speakers around the world who use it for various academic, business, and social interactions in an increasingly interconnected world.

DEVELOPMENT OF ENGLISH.docx
English began as a language spoken by Germanic tribes who invaded Britain in the 5th century AD. Over centuries, English developed and spread within Britain, becoming established as the dominant language by the 9th century. Today, English has spread globally and is spoken by between 1.5-2 billion people worldwide, having become the predominant international language of business, science, and diplomacy due to British colonial expansion and American cultural influence over the past few centuries. However, as English is used in many varied contexts around the world, questions arise around what constitutes English and how local variations relate to the original language.
englishasagloballanguage-121123193913-phpapp01.pptx
The document discusses English as an international language. It defines an international language as one used between people of different nations to communicate. English has become the global language due to the economic and military power of Britain and the United States. As a global language, English is important in fields like business, education and politics. This has implications for teaching English in Indonesia, where skills like listening, reading, speaking and writing must be developed so people can participate in global affairs using English as the shared language.
El efecto del inglés - the effect of english
The document discusses the effect of English on other languages. It notes that English is replacing over half of the world's languages, which linguist David Crystal warns would be a major intellectual loss. When languages die, their cultures and traditions also disappear. The document also examines why Crystal believes English will end other languages, citing factors like its dominant status, people learning it for better opportunities, and other languages adopting English words. It explores the concept of Kachru's circle, which categorizes the global spread of English. Finally, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of native and non-native English teachers.
English: the Working Tongue of a Global Village
The document summarizes the history and spread of the English language globally. It discusses how English originated as the language of Britain but became a global language due to British colonial expansion and the power of the United States. Today, English is used internationally for business, science, aviation, and by the European Union. While only around 330 million people speak English natively, over a billion use it as a secondary language and it is taught worldwide as a foreign language. The document outlines the "three circles" model of English usage - the inner circle of native English speaking countries, the outer circle of former British colonies where it is widely used, and the expanding circle of countries where it is learned as a foreign language.
English
English has become the world's leading international language due to British colonial expansion in the 19th century and American cultural influence in the 20th century.

The english language around the world
- 1. By teacher: Marisol González THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AROUND THE WORLD
- 3. IMPORTANCE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE English is currently considered the most important language worldwide, either for those who speak it as a first language or those who speak it as a second language, which is to say as a secondary language after the mother tongue. Although native- speaking English speakers (those who speak it as the official language of the country in which they were born) are not as many as those of other languages such as Spanish or Chinese, English wins absolutely every battle when talking about people who speak or master English as a second language.
- 4. WHAT IS ENGLISH? The English language would become one of the most widely spoken languages in the world The English language, as its name says, is the official language of England, the country in which it arises. The reasons for studying English are many and varied.
- 5. WHY SHOULD YOU STUDY THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE? Reasons to learn English: It is essential to work It's the universal language It will open you to new cultures You will travel without problems It is the most learned language To improve yourself Anglophone art and literature Eliminates weaknesses Enjoy a well-deserved vacation
- 6. Today it is essential to train at the level of English not only for work issues (have a good level of English is certainly a good gateway to better jobs) but also to communicate, to access greater knowledge and information, to be updated, etc.
- 7. CRITICISMS OF THE PRESENCE OF ENGLISH AS A WORLD LANGUAGE From many places a critical vision of the phenomenon of English is made to understand it as an invasion more on the part of the most powerful countries to which they have less power. It is even pointed out that many times the local and native languages of other parts of the world are more complex than English itself and that this speaks of much more elaborate cultures than the Anglo-Saxon one. On the other hand, recognition is requested to other languages that are slowly growing, such as Chinese or Spanish.
- 8. Finally, many theorists demand respect, revival and recovery of languages that have been lost by the impressive invasion of English, for example the American and African languages.
