GOING GLOBAL THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE
English language is the main spoken language around the world.
International language is the idea of the English language as a global
means communication with multiple dialects and international standards
for the language. In our time English playing the principal role in our
society, some countries teach English in the school as a second
language, many countries use English in science, business, technology,
politics, art, entertainment, music, advertising, and more. From the
articles Barbara Wallraff What Global Language? And John Tagliabue, In
Europe, Going Global Means, Alas, English we can observe many
possibilities and restriction of English as a global language. Some
people feel English language is difficult to learn because the English
words sometimes have change.
Barbara Wallraff is a senior editor of The Atlantic magazine; she was
interested how English has been changed during the past years. She did
her personal research of majority opinion why English has become the
global language. However, from the past decade we can observe global
changes in Standard English Language because every day only in United
States numbers of immigrants has been increase “Today approximately 2.4
million Chinese-speakers live in America, and more than four out of five
of them prefer to speak Chinese at home.” people from the different
countries prefer to speak and read using their own home language.
(Wallraff 536) Nevertheless, the globalization spreads rapidly
throughout the world, the need of global language has become more
critical then ever before.
