POSITION PAPER
sociolinguistic contexts across the world and studying how sociolinguistic histories,
various parts of the world and how it affects the economy. The monumental event
when the English first started was because of early colonization. English is a West
Germanic language derived from the Anglo-Saxon dialect used by today's Anglo-
Netherlands in the 5th century. Due to the widespread of English during imperialism
over the late centuries, conquerors have influenced other countries with their own
States.
Every phenomenon that occurs as globalization colonizes the world day by day
always has something to offer, its benefits and disadvantages. In general, through the
help of technological advancements, one of the benefits is that World English is used
and unity of people in the global community. In essence, English plays a vital role in
connecting all people across the world, regardless of nationality, cultural background,
or race. World English has no doubt united diverse countries and brought quality
occurrence of war.
There are multiple English in different countries, and they differ in countless
more that aid communication. However, American English and British English have
been the most well-known English since their English formality manifests itself in
neglected and refuse to recognize and respect. And this falls to individualism and
egocentrism for some people. It is the recognition given by both people from other
countries as well as those citizens of that country that stands out the most. This kind
of attitude shows the negative side of the presence of World Englishes since it held
that are significantly different from what they thought of who is better. In addition,
academic speech and writing when encountering formal affairs in some instances.
Despite the negative impacts of World Englishes on countries, the positive still
outweigh the negative. In a broader conceptualization, the English language has made
a significant contribution to bringing together various countries and making them able
outside the country. Furthermore, as a student, World Englishes helps us in a way that
we can express our beliefs and ideas without being judged by other people. It is
because they know that our English is different from others. And being a student,
understanding the differences between the standard and our version of English assists
language and communication. Despite the fact that it embedded negative impacts on
both people and the economy in general, it only balanced everything to maintain the
the body system's survival. Understanding the varieties of Englishes and Standard
English when using is understanding its guidance and rules to equate the format
one of us is capable of speaking our localized English. We can hear and use it every
day and without being aware of doing so. Nevertheless, not everyone knows its
restrictions. We should educate ourselves and learn the basics and complexity of our
and ignorance.
