English as a Global Language

CONCLUSION There are no precedents in human history for what happens to languages, in such circumstances of rapid change. There has never been a time when so many nations were needing to talk to each other so much. There has never been a time when so many people wished to travel to so many places. There has never been such a strain placed on the conventional resources of translating and interpreting. Never has the need for more widespread bilingualism been greater, to ease the burden placed on the professional few. And never has there been a more urgent need for a global language. [3, p.14 ] The aim of this work was to find the answere to the questions concerning the widespread of the English language all over the world, the role it plays in the modern world and its possible future perspectives, as well as to explore the thoughts and feelings of Estonian students to the issue.

Canada, although here the meaning of "unique" is vague and controversial. 18. The status of the French language in Canada as a whole and in Quebec in particular. In what language are the immigrants to Quebec required to educate their children? The economic power was largely in the hands of the English. The French language did not enjoy the same status in Canada as English, this was true even in Quebec, particularly in Montreal. Canada is officially a bilingual country but, with nearly 60% of the population speaking English as their mother- tongue, and only 21% speaking French as their first language, some people are questioning whether Canada is a bilingual nation on paper only. With English being the lingua franca, it has come to dominate the economy. Even  in Québec, English was the language of prestige and choice for business, and French-speakers were often discriminated against when applying for work

THE CAPITALIST NIGER

THE CAPITALIST NIGER Chika Onyeani ………………………Every African must internalise this book - period….DAA INTRODUCTION In October 1960, Nigeria received its independence from Britain. By then, Ghana the former Gold Coast had been independent for three years under the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkumah. It was a time for celebrating Africa’s coming of age, as more and more African countries received their independence either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; there is more starvation

Education

Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators. Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to address each educational ingredient that comes to my m
