Die Bedeutung der englischen Sprache in der heutigen Zeit

Submitted by admin on Sun, 09/13/2009 - 15:24

Im Zuge der Globalisierung hat Englisch sich zur Weltsprache entwickelt, was nicht zuletzt auf die politische und ökonomische Stellung der USA zurückzuführen ist. Während Englisch in 30 Staaten sowie 8 Überseeterritorien Großbritanniens die alleinige Amtssprache ist, nimmt es in weiteren 25 Ländern den Rang einer gleichberechtigten Amtssprache ein. Darüber hinaus ist Englisch die offizielle Sprache einer Reihe wichtiger Organisationen und Staatenbünde wie z.B. der Vereinten Nationen, der Europäischen Union, der Afrikanischen Union sowie der Organisation Amerikanischer Staaten. http://hybridlearning.org
