Lesson 4 – The Globalization of English Engage The most important function of a language is communication. As the need for communication between different countries has increased, the use of the English language has become more and more important. 20 We will begin this lesson by studying the historical and geopolitical bases for the 20 rise of English as a global language. ra Specifically, you should be able to nd 1. Analyze the interconnections between globalization and the English language; ala 2. Develop awareness on the differences between people and their cultures. -b 3.

Between 375,000 and 400,000 people are native English speakers. In view of these statistics, many consider the English language to be a world language. Since the English language has become so widespread, it is no surprise that different varieties of English have arisen. 20 North American English vs. British English 20 North American English is what people in the U.S. and Canada speak. Standard British English is spoken in the U.K. These are the two most common types of English used in the ESL ra (English as a Second Language) classroom. nd Of course, both types of English have their own sub-divisions (for example, the English spoken in the southern states of the U.S.). But there are some underlying qualities for each ala that English learners should recognize. The biggest differences between North American English and British English involve -b pronunciation and spelling. les Spelling differences: When it comes to spelling, it’s mostly the U.S. that spells words differently. Although Canada uses ob North American English, it generally follows British English spelling. nr  Most words that end in -or in American English have an -our ending in British English. ele color (American) — colour (British) iab honor (American) — honour (British)  Most words that end in -ize in American English have an -ise ending in British English ar organize (American) — organise (British) m recognize (American) — recognise (British)  There are also some words that sound the same in American and British English, but have different spellings. In the U.S., your money goes into a checking account. In the U.K., it goes into a chequing account. 2  The streets in the U.S. have a curb, but in the UK, they have a kerb. A car in the U.S. has four tires, but in the U.K. it has four tyres. Pronunciation differences: When people talk about British English, they’re really talking about Received Pronunciation (RP). 20 Received Pronunciation is the most common English accent that you’ll encounter when learning British English. It’s the type of English that’s usually spoken on BBC News, for example. Understanding RP can help you distinguish between British and American accents. 20 Here are some of the major differences between RP and North American pronunciation: ra  In RP, the letter “r” is pronounced very softly when at the end of a word. nd For example, in a British accent, you would barely pronounce the letter “r” in the  ala word pork. It can even be considered a “silent r” in this context. In RP, the letter “t” is clearly pronounced when it appears in the middle of certain words. In -b American English, that letter is pronounced more like a “d.” les For example, a British person would clearly pronounce the word water, whereas an American would say something closer to “wah-der.” ob  RP puts word stress in different places than American pronunciation. In the examples below, nr stressed syllables are in bold leters. ele garage (American) — garage (British) address (American) — address (British iab ar Australian English m Australian English is becoming one of the more popular versions of English as people from nearby countries like China and South Korea move to Australia to study English. One of the fastest ways to sound Australian is to use long vowel sounds. Here’s a guide to basic vowel sounds you’ll hear in Australia. The slang in Australia is especially unique. Australians like to abbreviate everything! 3  Let’s look at some words you’re likely to come across in Australia and nowhere else:  Bogan (Someone unsophisticated)  Mozzie (A mosquito)  Whinge (To whine)  Servo (A gas station) 20 20 Elaborate ra The globalization of people through the use of English as the language of business and nd media gave rise to its varieties. Each cultural community developed a unique way of speaking English fused with their own language and cultures. ala Since technology has transformed the world into a unique global community, it is important to be attentive to these differences to maintain respect for non-native and first language speakers -b possessing varied accents. With this you can foster a more tolerant view of the people we inevitably meet in our interactions with the internet world. les For clarification and updating of the lessons, check the online syllabus for online meeting schedules. ob nr ele iab Activity: ar Working in groups, transcribe (listen to it and write down what was said, word for word) the audio files to be uploaded in our FB page.
