Introduction
English has become a global language, spoken by approximately 40% of the world’s population as a first
or second language. Hundreds of millions of people are learning English, which is the global language for
business, technology, tourism and education. But how did English become a global language? And how has the spread of English influenced English language teaching and learning around the world. I’ll be addressing these questions in my presentation, and I’ll also consider the
future of English and other languages.
