Migration, mobility, and interconnection increasingly characterise life across the globe, leading to a need to understand social interaction in contact zones. The minor in English as an International Language is designed for students of all language backgrounds wishing to deepen their understanding of the ways in which English is used as a global means of communication, including face-to-face communication, workplace interactions and online conversations. Through the study of language use and language change when people of different backgrounds communicate, the minor prepares students to engage creatively with living spaces and workplaces.
