Abstract:
This article analyzes the role of the English
language in the era of globalization, focusing
on its function as a key medium of international
communication. The study emphasizes how
English has transformed into a global lingua
franca, supporting cooperation in politics,
economics, science, and culture. Historical
developments such as British colonialism, the
geopolitical rise of the United States, and the
influence of global media and technology have all
contributed to the widespread adoption of English
worldwide. English is not only a communication
tool but also an indicator of global integration.
The author notes that English language
proficiency often correlates with higher levels of
openness in society, international labor mobility,
and access to technological innovation and
educational resources. English has also adapted
to global needs by simplifying its grammar and
vocabulary, which makes it more accessible for
non-native speakers.
