d) Read the comments in the box below on international English. Write a text in which you respond to these comments in a discussion on the status of international English in the world today. In conclusion state what position you think international English will have in the future. Comments on international English Why fight it? English is everywhere and we need a global language. It s a lost cause to fight against the tide 1. (Jacques, a Frenchman) It s one thing to have a global language but quite another when all these English words creep into and pollute your own language. In fact, I recently read an article on the BBC website stating that half of the world s 7000 languages 2 are in danger of disappearing and this doesn t help, does it? (Günther, German linguist) The trouble with international English is that more and more people are speaking it badly, so that the language itself is suffering. I worry that we re going to end up with a sort of simplified English, where grammar doesn t matter and where the vocabulary is tiny. (David, English teacher) It s not the spread of international English that bothers me; it s all the culture that comes with it. (Pierre, French journalist) The spread of English is the new imperialism. In addition to economic and military world domination, they want to force their language on us too. I call that word domination! (Ahmed, Iranian politician) Utdanningsdirektoratet 1 "So English Is Taking Over the Globe.

Incident in Cairo By Lara Logan February 8, 2012 SPR3008 V12 Appendix 2 Page 1 of 1 Lara Logan is seen here moments before a mob sexually assaulted and beat her in Cairo s Tahrir Square in February 2011. When I was overwhelmed by a mob of men in Tahrir Square in Egypt last February, I was filled with the certainty that I would die there. In my mind, I could see an image of my body lying discarded in the dirt. It struck me that it would be a truly meaningless death. But instead of fighting for my life, I was at first fighting for my dignity. I believed in the sanctity of women in this Islamic society. I had been told so often by Muslim men and women that women were sacred. Protected. More valued even than in the West. And I had been told that though they may appear to be denied many of the rights I enjoy in Western society, they actually are valued in a different, more meaningful way. In my own experience, I had found myself frequently surrounded by Muslim men who were caring, protective, respectful, and supportive. Some risked their lives for me. So I believed that someone, something, would stop the attackers. Because everyone who was watching, everyone who was fighting for a piece of my body knew that what they were doing was wrong. Of course, it didn t end that way. And it was chance chance that the seething mob stumbled into a corner where I was trapped between a group of women and some tents, and chance that my CBS security man Ray Jackson was able to break free and compel nearby Egyptian soldiers to act that I was carried from that square alive instead of dead. And what I did not know then was how deeply entrenched sexualized violence is in Egyptian society. Or that agents from the Mubarak regime, intent on discrediting the revolution, had targeted me deliberately and incited the mob. Nor did I know that other female journalists were attacked that night. And I could not have known that there would be more attacks in the months that followed, until foreign female journalists were advised not to travel to Egypt. I never understood before my attack that sexual violence is a form of oppression. A very effective means for men to not only dominate women, but also to deny them their rightful place in society. It is not as noticeable in Western societies like the U.S., because women there are more powerful than in an Islamic country like Egypt. But it is still true. http://www.womenundersiegeproject.org/blog/entry/from-darkness-dignity-why-sexualized-violence-must-move-from-the-shadows (Abridged) Reader comments -These damn Western media types bust in here like a herd of bulls imposing their ideals of so-called free speech. They use this as an excuse to trample on everything we hold sacred! -The international media are doing a necessary job. The only way things can change is when outside media come into the country and get the message out to the world about what is really happening here. -What does the rest of the world really care? -What do you expect when a Western female journalist acts like she s in her own country? -What s so special about Logan s story? We all know that women can feel harassed anywhere, in any society. Utdanningsdirektoratet Eksamen SPR3008 Internasjonal engelsk Side 11 av 12
