Going Global through English
English has become an international language with global significance.
For some an international language has the meaning of a language that
has a large number of native speakers. In this sense, English, Spanish,
Hindi and Arabic, the most widely spoken mother tongues in the world
nowadays, might be considered as international languages. However,
although these languages are spoken by a large number of native speakers
of other civilizations, they cannot serve as a language of wider
communication. It is in this sense that English is the international
language. In many instances it is the language of wider communication
both among individuals from different countries and between individuals
from one country. In this way, English is an international language in
both a global and a local sense. For these who want to know the main
reasons for the spread of English, they will be stated below.
