A atual busca de informação aliada à necessidade de comunicação em nível mundial fez com que o inglês assumisse o papel de uma língua internacional. O inglês é a língua materna de cerca de 400 milhões de pessoas mas há estimativas de que 75% de toda comunicação internacional por escrito, 80% da informação armazenada em todos os computadores do mundo e 90% do conteúdo da Internet são em inglês. Ao assumir este papel de língua global, o inglês torna-se uma das mais importantes ferramentas, seja para questões educacionais quanto profissionais. Hoje o inglês é inquestionavelmente reconhecido como a língua mais importante a ser adquirida.
Who speaks English?
Do you know where English is spoken and who speaks English in the world? Any suggestion?
Well, English is spoken in almost the whole world! From South to North, East to West, English is a very common language for communication among people in the same country and people from many other countries.
English has become a lingua franca, that is, a language that is internationally used. English is, today, the international language for business, for science, for education and for diplomatic relations. Everybody uses English to communicate and exchange information about the most important topics. When you travel to any country, the language used to communicate is English.
In some countries, the English language is spoken as a first (or official) language. In these countries, English is the native language: people learn it naturally.
In other countries, this language is spoken as a second language—there is an official language, and English is a second option for the people in this country: they learn it when they start going to school and use it on the streets.
There are also countries where English is spoken as a foreign language, that is, people learn it for the reasons mentioned in the beginning of this text, but do not use it on the streets.
