L’ESAMEL’ESAMELa Reading ……..

Holidays are the last thing the British want to give up“(I) Although the tourism business is not (or not yet) disintegrating, it does seem to be changing. Two-week holidays are becoming a thing of the past, with many people preferring shorter but more frequent breaks. This may partly account for resilient-looking figures .…..(II) More perversely still, given a weakening economy, rising unemployment and higher inflation, tastes in holidays seem to be moving upmarket. According to Ms Smalley, there is a steep decline in holidays that cost less than £400 and a commensurate rise in those costing £800 or more, especially to the Caribbean. As sadness mounts at home, it seems that Britons are willing to pay more to escape it.

The English language in 2008

How many people speak English in the world today?

1st language, 2nd language, Foreign language :????

1st language 360-450 million (70 m. creole)

2nd language (70 countries where it has a status – Ghana, India, Nigeria, Singapore.) 200-800 million (number depends on fluency and on what’s happening in India). The good guess is 400 m.

Foreign language, 120 countries: 600-1.000 million learning English (China & Olympic Games???)

DISTINCTION BETWEEN 2nd and FOREIGN is difficultNIGERIA-GHANA vs. Sweden & the Netherlands…..

The English language in 2008

Overall: an estimate of 1500-1600 million speak English

The world population is today 6 bn This means that 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 now are

speaking English, and that.. …for every 1 native speaker there are 3

or 4 non-native speakers Moreover, the population growth rate of

non-native speakers’ countries is higher… So the ratio is going to grow in favour of

non-native speakers of English, like us Italian students!!!

Global English- English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)

The language of non-native speakers will soon become the language of international communication

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS?- Vocabulary- Pronunciation- GrammarThe English we teach and learn will change.Certain pronunciations and errors will be

accepted…WE MUST BE MORE TOLERANT AND ACCEPT
