English as an International Language

In recent history English has enjoyed a privileged position among the Worlds languages.
Millions of people in the United States, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Canada, New
Zealand and other countries speak it as a native language. The number of speakers of
English as a second or people do not speak it, but read it. The world of politics and
diplomacy has made of English its preferred medium of speak and written communication.

What has made English one of the most important languages in the world?
Why is it necessary for people to continue to learn it?

With respect to the first question, the most generally answer is the political and economic
power of English speaking countries like England and the United States in the last two
countries.
With respect to the second question, many reasons come to mind.

Travel to countries where English is the official language is common for tourists
and business people.
In countries where English is not the official language, for instance, Holland or
Germany, Knowledge of English is essential to understand people and to make
yourself understood.
The scientific community which is constituted by scientists with different native
languages, has adopted English as the most common channel of communication.
Scientific, humanistic and technological knowledge is disseminated in publications
in English, University students, and professionals are the first ones to recognize
the crucial importance of English in their activities.
In todays world, technological advancement is dictated by the industrialized
countries with Japan, the United States and some European countries at the head.
When we buy, for example a Japanese or a German product, we notice that
although English is not the official language in those countries, an English version
of the manual is never absent.
In conclusion, English has gained over the years considerable prestige as the
language of business, politics, diplomacy, tourism, science and mass communication.
On January 15-1990, we lived an unfortunate example of the importance of English as
an international language. The war between: Iraq and United States and its allies was
watched by millions of people around the worldsitting comfortably in their homes in
front of their television sets. The language in which the broadcasting originated was
English. The reason for this is not that only reporters who speak English are good, but
that the audience that was interest in the news, in this case world, was better prepared
to decipher information in English than in any other language.

 El ingls como lengua internacional
En la historia reciente el ingls ha disfrutado de una posicin privilegiada entre las lenguas
del mundo.
Millones de personas en los Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Irlanda, Escocia, Australia,
Canad, Nueva Zelanda y otros pases lo hablan como lengua materna. El nmero de
hablantes de ingls como segundo o las personas no lo hablan, sino que lo leen. El
mundo de la poltica y la diplomacia ha hecho del ingls su medio preferido de
comunicacin oral y escrita.
Qu ha hecho del ingls uno de los idiomas ms importantes del mundo?
Por qu es necesario que la gente contine aprendindola?
Con respecto a la primera pregunta, la respuesta ms general es el poder poltico y
econmico de pases de habla inglesa como Inglaterra y Estados Unidos en los dos
ltimos pases.
Con respecto a la segunda pregunta, vienen a la mente muchas razones.
Viajar a pases donde el ingls es el idioma oficial es comn para turistas y gente de
negocios.
En pases donde el ingls no es el idioma oficial, por ejemplo, Holanda o Alemania, el
conocimiento del ingls es esencial para entender a la gente y para hacerse entender.
La comunidad cientfica, constituida por cientficos con diferentes lenguas nativas, ha
adoptado el ingls como el canal de comunicacin ms comn. El conocimiento cientfico,
humanstico y tecnolgico se difunde en publicaciones en ingls, estudiantes
universitarios, y los profesionales son los primeros en reconocer la importancia crucial del
ingls en sus actividades.
En el mundo de hoy, el progreso tecnolgico est dictado por los pases industrializados
con Japn, Estados Unidos y algunos pases europeos a la cabeza. Cuando compramos,
por ejemplo un producto japons o un producto alemn, notamos que aunque el ingls no
es el idioma oficial en esos pases, una versin en ingls del manual nunca est ausente.
En conclusin, el ingls ha adquirido a lo largo de los aos considerable prestigio como
lengua de negocios, poltica, diplomacia, turismo, ciencia y comunicacin de masas. El 15
de enero de 1990 vivimos un desafortunado ejemplo de la importancia del ingls como
lengua internacional. La guerra entre Irak y Estados Unidos y sus aliados fue observada
por millones de personas alrededor del mundo ... sentndose cmodamente en sus
hogares frente a sus televisores. El idioma en el que se origin la emisin fue el ingls. La
razn de esto no es que slo los periodistas que hablan ingls son buenos, pero que el
pblico que estaba interesado en las noticias, en este caso el mundo, estaba mejor
preparado para descifrar informacin en ingls que en cualquier otro idioma.
