GLOBALIZATION AND SPREAD OF ENGLISH

Abstract

Abstract: the article discusses how globalization has played a significant role in
the spread of English as a global language. It highlights the historical background of
English's spread, the impact of American culture on its popularity, and the role of
international organizations and technology in its growth. However, the article also
acknowledges the negative consequences of this linguistic dominance, including the
erosion of linguistic diversity and the creation of a linguistic divide. Despite these
concerns, the article suggests that English is likely to continue spreading as a means of
communication and exchange in the future.
