English has become a global language, which means that the majority of the globe knows, speaks, and understands it. There are, however, numerous diverse forms of English spoken all across the world. Examples such as German or Japanese, and that also relates to the David crystal world English theory that he had come up with. With the Pronunciation, Rhoticity, Intonation, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Spelling are all diverse in the English language throughout the world.In the 18th century, English became a global language. Despite the fact that there are several sorts and interpretations of emotion, such as those described in the previous examples. English continues to have a significant global communication influence.It has had such an influence on the globe not just because of its strength, but also because of the most recent reason, which is technology.
A lingua franca is a language that is widely spoken. Because of its linguist strength, people all across the world have developed communication abilities. According to a recent article from Cambridge University, more individuals in other nations know English as a second language than Americans do. This demonstrates that individuals all around the globe are attempting to learn how to speak with people from various nations and races since it is a necessary skill to master in this world because English is considered as a source of power in other countries.
People in America, on the other hand, are unaware of the advantages of having a global language as their first spoken language. "There are probably more people in China who speak English as a second language than there are Americans who speak it as their first."This is an example from the Cambridge article that demonstrates how individuals in various nations prioritize making English a priority and teaching it to their students or people in study groups. This is relative to the theory that was created by Kachru's, which it called the Karchru's model. Which is about the inner, outer and expanded circle of English. Which the expanded circle part of English is china and china has a big part in the development of teaching English.
Because of their linguistic power over countries and colonies, this can be understood due to the theory that David Crystal came up with which was the world English. English became a worldwide language. Because of the British Empire, I had the most authority and controlled the majority of geopolitical domination. It has recently exploded in communication and technology throughout the world. The technology that has lately emerged over the past 20 years is the reason that English has risen in the communication world of other languages. The reason for this is due to the advancements in social media and social media platforms throughout time.
Over time, technological advancements have dramatically improved communication abilities. This is because social media and other applications assist those who do not speak English in obtaining information. They can utilize a human interpreter or a translating app. For many years, human interpreters have been required to translate one language into another for individuals who do not speak English, the global language. However, according to publications published by the University of Cambridge, the usage of technology is displacing the employment of human translators. They provided several examples of why learning multiple languages may be a waste of time.
According to Cambridge, continuing to teach the global English language may be futile. The technological epidemics that have occurred over the last 20 years are the reasons I believe you are. Technical outbreaks are translation applications that may be downloaded for free on your phone number. Which controls the technology language gap between other countries which are currently divided because of the communication which David Crystal talked about in his world English theory. Another example they provide is the usage of social media and how, with the touch of a button, we can help translate one language to another. The last point they made was that individuals may write an article, blog, or essay in one language and have it translated at the touch of a button in another. Christopher Manning created the most current one that they have come up with. “ A professor of machine learning, linguistics and computer science at Stanford University, insists there is no reason why, in the very near future, computer translation technology can’t be as good as, or better than, human translators.” This is an excerpt from the Cambridge essay. It also mentions that when you contact a specific number, you won't know if you're speaking with a human or a robot. In order for someone or something to be able to translate into your native tongue.
Another reason that they may say that English is a waste of time to teach you is because there's so many different varieties of English. Because in different countries they pronounce things differently and spell things differently according to what country they're in.So why waste time on something you could not even comprehend in another country? That's most likely why they're releasing so much new translation technology. This is part of my larger English research.
Finally, the English language appears to be disintegrating. Because of technology and how different it may become in other nations, many have come to the conclusion and understanding that it may be a waste of time to extend the teaching and study of the English language. I don't know, it's been existing for 200 years or so as a worldwide language, but it appears to be disintegrating and dying by dissolving into the technological breach that is fast and destructively engulfing the planet.
Hi Payton, your blog was good.
ReplyDeleteAO1: In regards to the understanding of the text that you read, in terms of context, meaning, and audience, you have a basic understanding. Throughout the entirety of your response, you explained and elaborated on other studies and theories. While this is good, to get full points you should have connected your previous knowledge of other theories to the text you read. As your blog states, “A lingua franca is a language that is widely spoken. Because of its linguist strength, people all across the world have developed communication abilities. According to a recent article..” In this paragraph, you are speaking on a theory and fail to connect this to the article in which you read. To improve in this specific area, I suggest that you connect everything back to what you read and use as many quotes as possible, which you failed to do. Meaning that you have ‘minimal reference to specific points. I would give you 2 marks.
A02: The structure of your response is okay, some of your paragraphs are a perfect length while others are too long. About your first paragraph, it is hardly an introduction paragraph, most of the context is relevant while parts of it are not, next time I would stick to only introducing your topic and stating what you will be talking about. I would have taken out the “Examples such as German or Japanese, and that also relates to the David crystal world English theory that he had come up with. Pronunciation, Rhoticity, Intonation, Grammar, Vocabulary, and Spelling are all diverse in the English language throughout the world. In the 18th century,..” while your first sentence is perfect, “English has become a global language, which means that the majority of the globe knows, speaks, and understands it. There are, however, numerous diverse forms of English spoken all across the world. “ I would keep to this idea, good job.
Your ideas are expressed and developed well, as you state, “Over time, technological advancements have dramatically improved communication abilities. This is because social media and other applications assist those who do not speak English in obtaining information.” Here you are expressing a full idea in a great way. However, you have sentences like this, “Which is about the inner, outer and expanded circle of English. Which the expanded circle part of English is china and china has a big part in the development of teaching English.” To fully express and elaborate on the text by connecting it to a theory, it is very important to elaborate and expand on it to your fullest capability.
I would give you 2 marks.
AO4: You expressed a perfect amount of other knowledge, while I think that you should have elaborated on them more, the concepts and methods and approaches to relate to the text were good. In almost every paragraph you spoke about a theory, if you were to tie it to textual evidence then that would be beneficial for your sake. I would give you 4 marks.
8/25 marks! Great Job!
