INTRODUCTION ENGLISH AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

  • To be considered an international language, a language cannot be linked TO ANY ONE COUNTRY OR CULTURE; rather, it must belong to those who use it. Hence, the typical relationship that exists btw culture and language needs to be re-examined.
  • This relationship needs to be examined with reference
  • to the teaching of discourse competence
  • The use of cultural materials in the classroom
  • The cultural assumptions that inform teaching methods
  • The question of whose discourse rules to apply in the use of EIL will be problematic. Some of the central issues are:
  • -SHOULD THOSE WHO USE EIL BE ASKED TO ACQUIRE NATIVE SPEAKERS’ STANDARDS IN BOTH SPOKEN AND WRITTEN INTERACTIONS?
  • SHOULD THEY EMPLOY STANDARDS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR OWN CULTURE?
  • - IF ENGLISH IS APPROACHED AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE, WHOSE CULTURE OF LEARNING SHOULD BE USED?

Cultural topics

  • Currently, many ELT materials use cultural topics related to native English-speaking countires on the grounds that learning English should entail knowledge of native English-speaking cultures.
  • Is such an approach appropriate in the teaching of an international language?
  • What do you think?

1. ENGLISH AS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE

  • DEFINING AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE
  • For some, an international language is equated with a language that has a large number of native speakers.
  • In this sense
  • Mandarin,
  • English,
  • Spanish,
  • Hindi, and
  • Arabic,
  • the 5 most widely spoken mother tongues in the world today, might be considered international languages.
  • However, only if spoken by a large number of native speakers of other languages, the language can serve as a language of wider communication.
  • English is, in this sense, the international language par excellence.
  • A language achieves global status when it develops a “special role that is recognized in every country” and this special status can be achieved either by :
  • a)making it an official language of the country or
  • b) by a country giving special priority to English by requiring its study as a foreign language.
