Course description

This course introduces the diversity of English across time and space, and examines the development and status of its various varieties globally. We will explore how English became a global language in science, politics, commerce, and technology, and how it adapts to meet the evolving needs of speakers in both face-to-face and digital communication. Emphasis will also be placed on its relationship with power, culture, and identity, and why proficiency in English as an International Language (EIL) is essential for professional success in today¿s globalised world.
