Advantage And Disadvantage Of English

Some people even believe that English is global language because 80% of the internet content uses the medium of English to communicate with the internet users and some other evidences. Although these arguments are valid, they don’t make English as the global language. In this article, Ms. Wallraff has responded to such people who are ignorant of the facts about universality of English language and have firm belief that English is

English is a very important language as it is used frequently at international level as a means for people from different countries to communicate with one another . However, English significance as a communication tool has grown and expand not just as an international language but also used as the language in international relations, and in exchanging knowledge and technology. In the early phase, English hd been spread internationally through colonization, migration and settlement, but as the years passed, English quickly gained a high prestige in cultural, scientific, technological and other fields that contributed to English becoming global (Leitner, 1992). Nowadays, it is generally acknowledged that

The internet is a wide spectrum of all kinds of languages, but English is the fundamental language used to communicate across borders. An advantage of having a global language is precisely this; communication with multitudinous people that you could never communicate with if it wasn’t for the lingua franca.

Globalization of the English language is the concept of using English as a global language for purpose of communication in numerous different dialects that is the movement of English towards a standard language. From history we see that twenty first century is known as the period of globalization of English language in which English has gained so much importance that it is now known as the language of the universe. It is known by every class of people from rich to poor even though its usage in the lower class society is very little but still people want to learn it for better opportunities. It has overtaken the world as the global language. Everyone irrespective of the fact where he belongs to speak English though not fluent as well as understands it very well. Education in most of the countries is given in English as it is the language of researches and technology. It is the major language of newspapers, academic conferences, diplomacy, sports and advertisement industry. Multinational companies requires their workers to be fluent in English language because they deal with their foreign business partners and customers in English language as it’s understood everywhere. The standardized form of English language came into form after planning of creating

Why do MFL teachers need to use TL in their lesson? First of all, teachers are always assimilated to role models for their pupils; for a French teacher who is trying to make his students talk in French, it would be coherent to model those expectations. In that way, the logical question from a reluctant student asking - “why are WE expected to speak French and you are not?!”- can be avoided. Also, many would say that it is just common sense to say that the best progress will be made if the teacher uses as much TL as possible. So, can we suggest that the more pupils hear a language the more they can grasp? Indeed, when teachers use the TL as the principal mean of communication it allows pupils to gain a maximum opportunity to use it for themselves as well. (Little, 1995) Also, when learners hear large amounts of comprehensible input and they are engaged in meaning-making, they understand and retain what they hear and they use it to form their own messages. (Long, 1981) (Swain, 1995) In addition to that point, ACTFL states that “learners need as much exposure as possible to the target language for acquisition to occur” (ACTFL, 2017). If this statement is accepted to be true, then, the MFL teacher has no other choice but to use TL as much as he can, especially when it is established that the classroom is the only opportunity for the French student to hear and speak in the target language. Crichton (2009) suggests that it is still possible if the target language is seen as the normal means of communication by both the teacher and the students. In conclusion, those multiple opinions highlight the importance of a good quantity of TL within the classroom.

No doubt that more and more people want to be a part of this international community by using English as a global language, language that can help people from different countries to understand each other.

As English continues to progress within the world, global culture has created an atmosphere where all can communicate and understand one another’s culture. In the United States, English becoming the official language has created unison and thorough communication within the entire country.

English as we know it is indeed the dominant language, but does that mean everyone should learn it? Should English be the global language? Should you have to know English to communicate if you are someone that lives in a place where the native language is something different? The answer is no. However, first you must consider the statement “It is a fact that English is the dominant language in the world today. Everyone, in every country, in order to participate in the modern world, should learn English. After all, a language is just a random collection of words, so how hard can it be”. Personally, I believe it is tremendously difficult to learn a new language as an adult, but in order to make the world go round, we all should know more than one language; no one language should rule. Barbara Wallraff, David Crystal, and John Tagliabue share a few words that connect to the statement to show their personal mindset behind English being a global language. In this essay, I will extract statements from each of the authors that explain their views on a global language to support my overall perception.

Nowadays, the roles of English around the world have changed rapidly. English only served as the first or the second language of certain countries some years ago. Recently, English has a new role as a language which is used as a means of communication between people with different

Non-native language particularly English, which is a Lingua franca- a language that is adopted as a common language between speakers whose native languages are different, is often preferred to native language in the medium of instruction in higher education in many places like Hong Kong and Singapore, according to Interim report April 2014 of “English as a medium of Instruction – a growing Global phenomenon: phase 1” by British Council and University of Oxford mentioned in the Week 11 lecture PowerPoint. By using English medium teaching, students and university institutions would be benefited. This essay will argue that English should be adopted as the medium of language in tertiary education, and it is supported by the discussion of the pros and cons of using non-native language in tertiary education in the perspective of students and university

Nowadays we are living in the age of globalization and as a result anything produced or invented in any part of the world gets global character very rapidly. To keep pace with globalization, it is very much essential to learn the global language English. English has a grip as the language of the global world, and being so it has become the most commonly learnt second language amongst foreign language speakers. English is the most commonly taught second language in foreign schools, as English is the collective language spoken by 1.8 billion people world wide, 27% of the world’s population. (Lona Glenn & Maria Castle, 2011).A vast majority of non-native English learners study a wide variety of school subjects using a language that is not their

In this paper, I argue if our modern-day society needs a global language such as English. English as a global language is necessary because it is more efficient, globalization, and most people already have some knowledge of English. English is of great importance in many places around the world, for this reason, it would be an excellent candidate to be the world’s lingua franca, or a global language.

A global language is a language that is spoken internationally and used for communication between people with different mother tongue. It is a language which is common as a first or a second language that many people speak or understand. English is one of the most common global languages and it has evolved naturally. It is used and understood in different degrees by over a billion people, and it seems like it’s spreading more and more.

     “In the world were over seven thousand languages have exisisted, one language had become dominate. This dominant language is English.” “In the majority of countries throughout the world speak English as their second or first language, no longer just America or England.” English has taken many forms, American English, the Queen’s English, Australian, Canadian English, and several others. Even American English has taken several types of English, Jersey English, East Coast English, West Coast English, Southern English, slang English, and Ebonics. All of these languages have major variants between them, but are all of them are still understood aboard. Without English the world couldn’t operate,

English language becomes a part of our life in various aspects such as business, education, economic, social culture and others. As we known that our country is one of favorite destination for the tourists and the language that we use to communicate with them is English language which is widely spoken. Since English has influent in our life and it still have problems in both teachers and students. The main reason that we always have heard from the others is we have our own language, we can communicate with other people in country easily so, it is unnecessary to learn other language. It is wrong idea of those people, but the true reason maybe come from our teaching approach that different areas also
