BOOK EXCERPT:
""English Language"" explores the fascinating journey of how a small island's tongue became the global lingua franca. This comprehensive book delves into the origins, historical development, and worldwide impact of English, offering readers a multifaceted view of language evolution and cultural exchange. From its Indo-European roots to its current status as a global powerhouse, the book traces English's path through key periods like Old English and the Renaissance, highlighting how historical events shaped its development. What sets this book apart is its innovative approach to presenting language history. Instead of a chronological account, it uses thematic case studies of words, phrases, and grammatical features to illustrate broader linguistic trends. This method makes complex concepts accessible to a general audience interested in journalism and language arts. The book also incorporates cutting-edge insights from corpus linguistics and digital humanities projects, providing readers with the latest understanding of language patterns and evolution. Throughout its chapters, ""English Language"" argues that English's flexibility, adaptability, and inclusive nature have been key to its unprecedented global spread. By examining the interplay between language, culture, and power, the book challenges simplistic notions of linguistic imperialism and offers a nuanced perspective on English's role in today's interconnected world.

The challenges of ensuring the future and development of the discipline, especially after a time of crisis, is equally unprecedented.

In the age of information, an essential priority in the context of international education is the development of language learning and its inconsistencies. The gap between language and education has intermittently grown through time, with mistaken assumptions about how linguistic shortcomings are being solved around the world. Research on comparative educational approaches to teaching verbiage and the foundation of future language development are instrumental in positively impacting the global narrative of dialectal education. International Approaches to Bridging the Language Gap is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of second language teaching as well as social developments regarding intercultural learning. While highlighting topics including curricular approaches, digital competence, and linguistic disparities, this book is ideally designed for language instructors, linguists, teachers, researchers, public administrators, cultural centers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on the latest advancements of multilingual education.

BOOK EXCERPT:
"The history and wide distribution of the English language - originally an Anglo-Frisian dialect first taken to Southern Britain by Germanic settlers in the 5th century and spoken by only a few - has been a most remarkable and unparalleled one. Nowadays, English is the world language, influencing each and every single aspect of the daily and professional lives of millions of people on an international scale. The metaphor of the Global Village often represents the ubiquitous process of globalisation - a phenomenon that has shaped the existence of mankind in the last couple of decades. Communication in all areas is ensured mostly through the use of the English language. It is remarkable, though, that English is only in the fourth place in terms of native speaker ranking and that its proportion is decreasing steadily. Yet what makes English so important is its use as a lingua franca - an international language that is used for communication by speakers of different languages. Estimates claim that about 1 billion people - that is about one sixth of the world population - have at least some knowledge of English and in most countries it has become one of the basic necessities in professional life. Does this development have any influence on the way we as future professionals explore, describe and - above all - teach the English language? Do native speakers still 'own' English or is it rather 'Globish', 'Franglais' or 'Denglisch' that should be taught? In this term paper I aim to offer some answers to these questions and examine different theories of teaching English as a global language."--p. 1, Introduction.
