Definition

  • The rapid spread of English around the world is a topic that prompts discussions related to the effects of globalization, increased use of communication technologies, cultural imperialism, and language teaching and learning. Population growth trends indicate that users of English as a second or a foreign language outnumber those who acquired it as a mother tongue.
