Merci, je ai ça très intéressant, particulièrement ces passages :
 
« If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education
markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other languages such as Japanese, French and German, spreads. »


« If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other languages such as Japanese, French and German, spreads. »

« The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly £1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related exports earn up to £10 billion a year more. »


« Teaching and learning English as a lingua franca (ELF) is probably the most radical and controversial approach to emerge in recent years. »

« In some quarters the de facto special status of English in Europe is causing resentment (see, for example, Phillipson, 2003). »
(Nota : le passage parle de l’UE)


« The developments in English teaching already described suggest that a new orthodoxy appears to have taken root in the last few years which could be described as ‘The World English Project’. If this project succeeds, it could generate over 2 billion new speakers of English within a decade. »

« In an increasing number of countries, English is now regarded as a component of basic education, rather than as part of the foreign languages curriculum. A surprising number of countries now aspire to bilingualism. »
Ils sont eux-mêmes surpris par notre zèle !
