British and American Global Mission
“What the World needs most is about 1000 more dead languages – and one more alive”(C.K. Ogden, Cambridge semanticist and inventor of Basic English)
“The British Council is the UK’s ’international organization for educational opportunities and cultural relations—registered in England as a charity”
The British Council (BC), The International Monetary Fund (IMF), The World Bank and world-class Anglophone mass media are in cahoots to elevate English into its global status
(Robert Phillipson)

The British Council’s Indoctrination
• The best way to teach English is using the monolingual method of instructions.
• An ideal teacher of English is a native speaker of the language
• The sooner English is taught the better
• The more English is taught the better
• If other languages than English are learnt more, the English proficiency standard will become less.

Debatable Arguments• Intrinsic Argument (English is seen as more representative, rich, prestigious,
classy and interesting than other languages)
• Extrinsic Argument (English is thought to have become an established language with large number of speakers and abundant amount of teaching and learning materials)
• Functional Argument (English is positioned as an entrance gate to reach out the world)
• Economical Functionality Argument (Knowledge of English enables its speakers to operate technological innovations)
• Symbolic and Idealistic Functions (English is perceived as representative of particular concepts (e.g. modernity) and constructive in terms of linguistic identity)
