Thelegacyofhistory
britain's colonial expansion established the preconditions for the global use of english, taking the language
from its island birthplace to settlements around the world. english has expanded as a result of coming into contact
and being influenced by many others languages, making it a hybrid language which can rapidly evolve to meet
new cultural and communicative needs.
Englishandotherlanguages
english is remarkable for its diversity, its propensity to change and be changed. this has resulted in various
forms of english, and also a diversity of cultural contexts within which english is used in daily life.
Englishinthe20thcentury
the United States has become a global super power, this occurred specifically after World War II. america
influences politics, economics, and culture around the world. as a result, english is becoming more and more
important as a global language. When the influence of america on today's global economy is added to the historic
and current influence of Great britain, understanding english becomes almost essential for carrying out business
in the current economic market.

WhospeaksEnglish?
there are three kinds of english speaker: First-language speakers are those for whom english is a first — and
often only — language. these native speakers live in countries in which the dominant culture is based around

Transcripts
english. these countries, however, are experiencing increasing linguistic diversity as a result of immigration. Second
language speakers use english as a second language, where english is part of a repertoire of languages in which
each is used in different contexts. the third group includes the growing number of people who are learning
english as a second language (eSl). It will be those people who speak english as a second or foreign language
who will determine its future in the world.

HOw tO bE an aLiEn by GeorGe MIKeS

"When I arrived in england I thought I knew english.
after I'd been here an hour I realised that I did not understand one word. In the first week I picked up a
tolerable working knowledge of the language and the next seven years convinced me gradually but thoroughly
that I would never know it well, let alone perfectly. this is sad. My only consolation being that nobody speaks
english perfectly.
remember that those five hundred words an average englishman uses are far from being the whole vocabulary
of the language. you may learn another five hundred and another five thousand and yet another fifty thousand
and still you may come across a further fifty thousand that you have never heard before and nobody else either.
If you live here long enough you find out to your great amazement that the adjective nice is not the only
adjective the language possesses, in spite of the fact that in the first three years you do not need to learn or use
any other adjectives. you can say that the weather is nice, a restaurant is nice, Mr So-and-so is nice, Mrs So-and-
so's clothes are nice, you had a nice time, and all this will be very nice.
then you have to decide on your accent. you will have your foreign accent all right, but many people like
to mix it with something else. I knew a Polish Jew who had a strong yiddish-Irish accent. People found it fascinating
though slightly exaggerated. the easiest way to give the impression of having a good accent or no foreign accent
at all is to hold an unlit pipe in your mouth, to mutter between your teeth and finish all the sentences with the
question: isn't it? People will not understand much, but they are accustomed to that and they will get a most
excellent impression.
I have known quite a number of foreigners who tried hard to acquire the oxford accent. the advantage of
this is that you give the idea of being permanently in the company of oxford dons and lecturers on medieval
numismatics; the disadvantage is that the permanent singing is rather a strain on your throat and that is the type
of affectation that even many english people find hard to keep up incessantly. you may fall out of it, speak naturally,
and then where are you?
the most successful attempts, however, of how to put on a highly cultured air have been made on the
polysyllabic tines. Many foreigners who have learnt latin and Greek in school discover with amazement that the
english language has absorbed a huge amount of ancient latin and Greek expressions, and they realize that (a)
it is much easier to learn these expressions than the much simpler english words; (b) that these words as a rule
are interminably long and make a simply superb impression when talking to the greengrocer, the porter and the
insurance agent."

everything is great, but my host family is the best thing. I have made heaps of friends that I know I will stay
in contact with. how could I not be happy?
I am very close to my host family and will be very sad to leave them. they are very supportive and accepted
me into their lives right away. My host sister has been incredible and was so very helpful since I first arrived. I feel
as if I belong in the family and that I'm not just an outsider.
School work is very difficult but socially it's amazing. I spend all day at school for most of the week so I am
with my classmates for more time than anyone else. It is a bit hard because my host sister is in the same class and
her friends have become my friends. I don't have any social independence, I suppose. but I don't mind, really.
I am very happy with my progress. I have improved so much and I understand pretty much everything now.
I know I need to talk more but it is only because I don't know what to say sometimes … everyone is really patient
and although I still get frustrated, it is not as bad as before.
Julie'syearprogrammeinItaly
the hardest part of my year away was not missing my family and friends in england, but was actually learning
Italian. It was hard at first; however it was fun, interesting and exciting at the same time. one thing which I love
about Italy is that even though I didn't speak their language when I arrived, everyone made a big effort in helping
me out. they speak very slowly, use hand gestures, take me out on weekends and help me to learn about their
culture. after a few months of listening to Italian and being very patient, I notice my speaking skills have improved
dramatically. I find that with every month that passes, my experience of being here gets better and better as my
Italian improves.

Overall, I really think a student exchange to any country is what you put into it. It has been hard sometimes,
not just on me but it has also been hard on my family back home since the beginning of the programme. Life
isn't always perfect. An exchange can be the best and hardest year of your life, but you also need to remember
Transcripts

that it's so easy to keep in contact with your family and friends, with Skype, Facebook, Email, etc. I would truly
advise anyone to choose a year programme, as you really need this time away to reach a good level in any
language. An exchange is truly the best opportunity of a lifetime. Make the most of it.

CJ: Howmanylanguagesdoyouspeak?
AK: I speak seven languages. I speak dutch and english because I was raised bilingually. I speak French, German,
Spanish, Portuguese, and I'm learning Welsh.
CJ: Howmanyofthosedoyouspeakfluently?
AK: I speak them all with different levels of fluency. I can negotiate business for the european commission in at
least three to four of them. I have a working knowledge of two of the others. My Portuguese and German
are good for speaking to ordinary people in the streets.
CJ: Didlanguagesbringyouintothisprofessionalrole?
AK: languages have been a part of my life from my early youth onwards. I grew up in Queensland, in an immigrant
family. english was my first language, but after a while my parents decided to go back to the old country.
overnight I became a dutchman and had to learn a second language. once you open the door to a second
language, the rest just keeps on rolling. at high school I learnt German and French. at University I learnt
Spanish. For the european commission I ended up working in brazil for years. Just from working there I learnt
Portuguese.
CJ: Aresomelanguageseasiertolearnthanothers?
AK: I've always found Germanic languages to be more difficult, like German and dutch. I've always found latin
languages, like French, Portuguese and Spanish, easier.
When I was trying to learn Welsh, I recognised a lot from latin and French in the language. at the same time,
it's very different because it's a celtic language.
CJ: Howimportantisitforpeopletolearnlanguages?
AK: In this day and age it's crucial. People in europe have the right to live, work, play and retire in any of the 27
eU countries. that's why there are one million british people living in Spain and there are half a million Polish
people living in the UK.
to be effective in a different country, you need to speak another language. When you're in another country
you can't expect other people to speak your language. If you don't acquire another language the world
becomes much smaller, in terms of job prospects and experiences.
People who speak other languages can go abroad and find a wonderful career, or come over here, and
maybe take the job you wanted to have, because they speak two or three other languages.
each language gives you a different perspective. It enriches your life and it may enrich your pocket as well.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty It's driven me before and it seems to be the
stinging clear way
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll That everyone else gets around
let the fear But lately I'm beginning to find that when
Take the wheel and steer I drive myself my light is found
It's driven me before and it seems to have a vague Chorus
Haunting mass appeal
Whatever tomorrow brings
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings
Chorus I'll be there I'll be there
Whatever tomorrow brings Would you choose water over wine?
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea Hold the wheel and drive
Whatever tomorrow brings
Chorus
I'll be there I'll be there
Whatever tomorrow brings
So, if I decide to waiver my chance
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
To be one of the hive
Whatever tomorrow brings
Will I choose water over wine
I'll be there I'll be there
And hold my own and drive?
Aah ah ooo
