There is more than one variety, no? English as a Global Language

Did you know that English is spoken by more than two billion people worldwide? Explore how English reached these different parts of the world and how it has evolved along the way.

    Algemeen

    From reading British texts in school to listening to English-speaking lyrics in K-Pop, you already encounter a wide range of English varieties in your everyday life. In this interactive masterclass, you will explore how English reached these different parts of the world and how it has evolved along the way.

    Through engaging activities and real-world examples, you will be introduced to a range of accents, discover new vocabulary and expressions, and gain insight into how historical developments and cultural contexts have shaped the language. In the process, you will discover that there is no single “correct” form of English. Instead, there are many valid and meaningful varieties.

    The masterclass encourages you to reflect on your own use of English as a multilingual speaker in a globalized world. By the end, you will have developed a broader understanding of English as a dynamic international language.
