4. Introduction
Background:
There is one language in the world that
deserves to be called Lingua Franca. This
is English. It is almost spoken and
understood in every nook and corner of the
world.
In the 14th century English became
dominant in Britain. The sun never set on
this great British Empire, and its official
language was none other than English
5. Introduction
• This language is called Middle English. It was the
language of the great poet Chaucer, but it would still be
difficult for native English speakers to understand today.
• Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden and
distinct change in pronunciation started. In 1604 the first
English dictionary was published.
• Hamlet’s famous, “To be, or not to be” lines written in
early Modern English by Shakespeare.
6. Introduction
• Let us discuss the importance of English language:
It’s international language (global language)
Language of communications between the people with
different culture
English language links the whole world together
This is the language in which most of the information and
website are available.
If you don’t know English then you would be in need of a
translator to do the job.
7. Introduction
• In education, people that study abroad will use English
as their medium language.
• English is the ideal language for many government
around the world and it is also prominent in
business, education, world news and communications.
• We think English is becoming more and more important
today. That’s why before starting teaching we must tell
them about it. I mean not only IN words but also in
practice. When you learn how to speak.
