English is the second commonly spoken, and by far the most widespread of the world’s languages. It is estimated that there are 350 million native speakers, 300 million who use English as a second language and further billion using it as a foreign language. English is spoken by scientists, pilots,COMPUTER experts, diplomats and tourists; it is the language of the world! Do you know that over 50 % of all business deals are conducted in English?
And over 70% of all mails is written and addressed in English? It is the official or co-official language of over 45 countries and furthermore, it is spoken extensively in other countries where it has no official status. It is perhaps, therefore, not surprising that in recent years we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of students opting to study abroad. In the future this will cement the role that English plays in the cultural, political or economic life of many countriesAROUND THE WORLD from Australia to Zambia.

ENGLISH AS A MEAN
OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION
English is the national language in such countries as Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is the mother tongue of nearly three hundred million people. Many people speak English in Japan, China, India and African countries. But many more use it as an international means of communication, because English has become a truly international language.
Science, trade, sport and international relations of various kinds have given the English language the status of one of the world’s most important languages. Many scientific and technical journals are written in English although they are not necessary published in England or other English-speaking countries. At numerous international meetings and conferences English is the main language. The Olympic Games and other multinational sports events cannot do without it.
The role English plays today is the result of historical processes. The English language, in the course of historical development, has met with so many influences from abroad that its lexical and grammatical structure has come to reflect in many ways its international use.
English is a language which is indeed able to cope with the most diverse tasks of international communication.

THE ARTICLE
Is English the world’s Lingua Franca? A report from the British Council announced yesterday estimated that by 2015 two billion people will start learning English around the world, and three billion people – half the planet – will be speaking it. However, report editor, David Graddoll, said that English will not become the Esperanto and dominate global language learning as Arabic, Chinese and Spanish are set to rise in importance. He said the trend is towards “linguistic globalization” and multi-lingualism, not bilingualism, and definitely not monolingualism. French, on the other hand, once considered a lingua franca, will see its status as a world language continue to slide.
Although English will escalate in popularity, English language teachers will likely be out of a job by 2050, when so many people will be able to speak English, that teaching it will become almost redundant. Demand for English teaching will drop by a whopping 75%, from two billion to 500 million. Instead English will be taught worldwide at elementary level, and many universities across the world will choose to teach in English. This suggests a wake-up call for traditionally lazy and monolingual Britons, who tend to shun language learning because of their “everyone speaks English” mentality. Brits will be left behind in a future poly-lingual world.
WARM UPS / COOL DOWNS
1. CHAT: Talk in pairs or groups about English, lingua franca & world language, Esperanto, being bilingual / multilingual, British people and English / dying languages …
To make things more fun, try telling your students they only have one minute (or 2) on each chat topic before changing topics / partners. Change topic / partner frequently to energize the class.
2. MY ENGLISH:Students recount their histories of learning English, from what age, teachers, books, media, feelings etc.
3. ADJECTIVE BRAINSTORM: Ask students for adjectives describing their opinion / feelings regarding the English language. In pairs students talk about the adjectives.
4. 2-MINUTE DEBATES:Students face each other in pairs and engage in the following (for-fun) 2-minute debates. Students A are assigned the first argument, students B the second. Rotate pairs to ensure a lively pace and noise level is kept:
(a) English is the lingua franca. vs. It depends on where you are in the world.
(b) English will be the most important language in the world. vs Chinese will be.
(c) Half of elementary school education should be in English. vs. The child’s native language is more important.
(d) English should be recognized as a national language in many countries. vs. A national language needs strong and long cultural roots.
(e) English should be recognized as the official world language. vs. But in the future other languages will overtake English.
