1.English language and its history :English is a West Germanic language that originated

from Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain in the fifth to seventh centuries by Germanic invaders and settlers from what is now northwest Germany and the Netherlands.

Influence of English language Proto English-These dialects had most of the typical

West Germanic features, including a significant amount of grammatical inflection.

Old English-Old English was first written using a runic script called the futhorc, but this was replaced by a version of the Latin alphabet introduced by Irish missionaries in the 9th century.

Middle English-Middle English is the form of English spoken roughly from the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066 until the end of the 15th century.

Modern English-The first authoritative and full featured English dictionary, the Dictionary of the English Language, was published by Samuel Johnson in 1755. To a high degree, the dictionary standardised both English spelling and word usage. Meanwhile, grammar texts by Lowth, Murray, Priestly, and others attempted to prescribe standard usage even further.

2.Importance of English language : In today’s global world, the importance of English

can not be denied and ignored since English is the most common language spoken everywhere. With the help of developing technology, English has been playing a major role in many sectors including medicine, engineering, and education, which, in my opinion, is the most important arena where English is needed.

Key points of importance : English may not be the most spoken language in the

world, but it is the official language in a large number of countries. It is estimated that the number of people in the world that use in English to communicate on a regular basis is 2 billion!

English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce, research from all over the world shows that cross-border business communication is most often conducted in English. Its importance in the global market place therefore cannot be understated, learning English really can change your life.

Ex : world top films, music, books, internet surfing, commercial use like transport, college, hospital, educational institutions etc. English plays a dominant role.

3. World wide use of English language : English study is an academic discipline that includes the

study of literatures written in the English language. (including literatures from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and the Middle East, among other areas)

More broadly, English studies explores the production of and analysis of texts created in English (or in areas of the world in which English is a common mode of communication).

It is common for academic departments of "English" or "English Studies" to include scholars of the English language, literature (including literary criticism and literary theory), linguistics, law, journalism, composition studies, the philosophy of language, literacy, publishing/history of the book, communication studies, technical communication, folklore, cultural studies, creative writing, critical theory, disability studies, area studies (especially American studies), theatre, gender studies/ethnic studies, digital media/electronic publishing, film studies/media studies, rhetoric and philology/etymology, and various courses in the liberal arts and humanities, among others.

4.Developments in English language :

Language is an essential tool for learning. Oral language development in English differs from

acquiring academic English, and involves using English within different contexts for different purposes.

As a result, you should foster children's learning and development through both direct and indirect teaching of language in a rich, stimulating environment.

Page 12: ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE BY IRFAN

Bases of English teaching : Teachers should: Encourage students to bring �

their ideas, background knowledge, and experiences into class learning activities. Be �responsive and accepting listeners when students are talking. Nurture an accepting, risk free �environment where students will feel comfortable. Language is not practiced or acquired when students are afraid to use it. Allow students to �express themselves without fear of censure – either by adults or by fellow students.

The general goals of English language arts across grades are: to develop students English language �abilities as a function of their thinking abilities to �promote personal and social development by extending students knowledge and use of the English language to encourage enjoyment of and �proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English.

5. Indian English :

Indian English is any of the forms of English characteristic of the Indian subcontinent.

English has slowly become one of the lingua fracas of the Indian subcontinent (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka), and is the language of their cultural and political elites, offering significant economic, political, and social advantage to fluent speakers.

English language public instruction began in India in the 1830s during the rule of the East India Company (India was then, and is today, one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world[15]). In 1837, English replaced Persian as the official language of the Company. Lord Macaulay played a major role in introducing English and western concepts to education in India.

Though English is one of two official languages of the Union Government of India, only a few hundred thousand Indians have English as their first language. According to the 2005 India Human Development Survey, of the 41,554 surveyed households reported that 72 percent of men (29,918) did not speak any English, 28 percent (11,635) spoke at least some English, and 5 percent (2,077, roughly 17.9% of those who spoke at least some English) spoke fluent English.

 Among women, the corresponding percentages were 83 percent (34,489) speaking no English, 17 percent (7,064) speaking at least some English, and 3 percent (1,246, roughly 17.6% of those who spoke at least some English) speaking English fluently.
