20. ENGLISH LANGUAGE MANIA

21. The English language in 2020 The world population is today 6 bn English has official or special status in at least 75 countries, with a total population of 1.75 million; one out of four of the world's population speak English to some level of competence; demand from the other three quarters is increasing; It s spoken as a secondlanguage by 38% of adults , trailed distantly by French (12%) and German (11%); This dominance is set to grow dramatically, with 94% of secondarystudents in Europe learning English as a foreign language; The use of English throughout Asia, the Commonwealth, and North America, plus the widespreaduse of English online and in the media, all encourage English as the ongoing second language of choice.

22. The English language in 2019 What is the role of English in Italy? How do you use English or plan on using it in the future?

23. ELF AND EFL??? ELF (ENGLISH AS A LINGUA FRANCA) is defined as the language of communication between people whose native language IS NOT ENGLISH. So their needs are quite different to students who go to the UK, for example, and want to integrate within that culture and so may want to sound as much like a native speaker as possible (EFL - ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) The priority for students using ELF , on the other hand, is to be as intelligible as possible to the people they are communicating with. This does not necessarily mean sounding like a native speaker .

24. Global English- English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) - Data about the pronunciation features which caused the most communication breakdown communication (Jenkins 2000) - Pronunciation priorities in an ELF context: 1) Most consonant sounds are necessary (but no distinction / / as in the th in mother , / / as in the th in thumb ) 2)Appropriate consonant cluster simplification (HELP-ED) in international 3) 4)Nuclear stress (i.e. on the syllable that carries maximum prominence: MANAGEMENT , the nuclear syllable is the first one) Vowel length distinctions (i.e. /i:/ vs /i/)

25. LINGUA FRANCA CORE (LFC) The language of non-native speakers HAS NOW BECOME the language of international communication WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS? - Vocabulary - Pronunciation - Grammar The English we teach and learn is changing. Certain pronunciations and errors will be accepted WE MUST BE MORE TOLERANT AND ACCEPT DIVERSITY AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS OF ENGLISH USE

26. EFL AND ELF EFL, ELF , etc. are just different contexts of using English; i.e. the different roles that English plays depend on who is speaking to whom, rather than where English is being used. One is not inherently better or more appropriate than another they re just different things. What learners need/want to learn will depend on the context in which they (want to) use English.

27. AFTER BREXIT? A DISTINCT VARIETY? In a paper published in the journal World Englishes recently, linguist Marko Modiano speculates about what this is likely to mean for the future of English in Europe. He argues that the newfound neutrality of English is likely to help it survive Brexit and that without the UK s clout in Europe, European English will be free to do what language does best: change.

28. AFTER BREXIT? A DISTINCT VARIETY? Without the UK s 60 million native English speakers, the five million native speakers from Ireland and Malta will make up only 1% of the total EU population. This will leave almost everyone else who speaks English in Europe on an equal footing, all using their second language to communicate. Even setting aside the question of official status, the daily use of English throughout the continent is unlikely to be diminished. Many countries have invested heavily in learning English, so regardless of official status, expedience is likely to win out: an Italian and a Dane conducting business are still more likely to resort to English than any other language.

29. AFTER BREXIT? A DISTINCT VARIETY? The major change, argues Modiano, is that the UK will no longer have a say in how English is used. This will leave European English free to drift towards US or Commonwealth conventions, and to develop features of vocabulary and grammar that are perfectly well- understood by other Europeans speaking English as a second language for example, entrenching the use of structures like I am coming from Spain, rather than I come from Spain .

30. AFTER BREXIT? A DISTINCT VARIETY? Of course, European English will not exist in a vacuum. European speakers will always be communicating cross- culturally, which limits the development of features that would impede understanding when communicating with speakers of other varieties of English. But much as US and British English are different but mutually intelligible, so other varieties can develop their own characteristics without ceasing to be useful. If Modiano is correct, the future of English in Europe might be best secured by Britain relinquishing its grip. https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2017/sep/25/without-uk-influence- eu-english-will-be-free-to-morph-into-a-distinct-variety
