Tracking the spread of English from a little-spoken dialect to the world's common tongue, this program identifies significant historical events that contributed to the language's rise to global dominance.
International experts elaborate on the spectrum of conflicting attitudes towards English—ranging from its being scorned as the "language of imperialism" to embraced as the "language of opportunity"—and explain the changing role of English worldwide.
A great quick way to show today’s students the history and reach of the English language, and its effect on other countries and their identity. Recommended.
