Abstract:

The English language is currently used as a second or foreign language in
those countries which had once been British colonies. For example, when united
India was partitioned into two main countries, India and Pakistan, it was
intended that English would gradually be replaced as the language of
administration in both countries. However, as the countries were also home to
several regional languages, attempts to introduce a sole official language and
abolish English as the second official language have never succeeded. In
today’s world, English is the language of the cultural, social and political
elite, offering significant economic, political and social advantages to
fluent speakers. Speakers of the English language automatically enjoy greater
social status and have easier access to positions of power and influence.
Learning and teaching the English language has therefore become a concern for
those who cannot afford to study in native-speaking countries or at local
expensive English-medium schools. This book provides various government and
non-government educational and professional institutions with simple and
practical language-learning courses which fulfil the requirements of people
who want to learn English. It will be of great interest to a wide variety of
readers, including teachers, language learners, students, linguistic
departments, general readers who are struggling to learn English, and
professionals who want to overcome the language barrier.
