Teaching English as an International Language, Selvi A.F., Galloway N., Rose H., 2023.

   This Cambridge Elements aims to offer a comprehensive account of the remarkable and unprecedented spread of English as a global language by taking historical, sociolinguistic, and pedagogical perspectives. It opens with a diachronic approach illustrating the historical evolution of English in the past 500 years or so and portraying its transformation from a national language to one characterised by varieties all around the world, whether by choice or by force. The discussion is complemented by a synchronic approach presenting a qualitative and quantitative overview of the present-day role, function, and status of English as a global and multilingual franca.




Why Did English Become the Global Lingua Franca?
The dichotomisation of push and pull forces is a simplification of the complexities associated with language and society, but they are useful to explain how English has managed to grow from a language of a small island nation to a global lingua franca. The reason English became the dominant global language is a complex mixture of push and pull factors associated with colonialism and spurred on by globalisation.

First, there is little doubt that British colonialism sowed the seeds for the growth of English as a global language. It took the language to all continents, encompassing large swathes of Africa stretching from Egypt to South Africa; Pakistan to Malaysia in Asia; Australia to Tonga in Australasia; and from Canada to British Guyana in the Americas. Britain still retains sovereignty over fourteen territories outside the British Isles, and the British monarch is still the head of state in sixteen nations. The Commonwealth of Nations, which is an association of former British colonics and protectorates, includes more than two billion of the world’s population.
