Who are we ?
With the advent of the internet, globalization has boomed. Now more than ever before, nations and people are connected, and communication is increasingly transcending cultures, as well as, languages.
English is arguably the language of the first world. Hence it is de facto considered the first, and currently the only truly global language. There are upward of 1.5 billion English speakers in the world today, yet only a fraction of them speak it as a first language. Most of this demographic that speaks English in addition to their own native language(s) belong to countries that, according to Kachru’s Outer and Expanding circles of world English, are either
- Commonwealth states, i.e. former British colonies, where ESL is more prevalent, or
- Foreign countries where English is taught as a foreign language so that international communication is made possible.
