[00:00.00]Unit 25
[00:06.65]Listening and speaking
[00:09.98]4 Listen to Dr Jennifer Jenkins talking about
[00:14.46]"English as an International Language".
[00:17.48]Which statements above
[00:19.02]does she agree/disagree with? Why?
[00:23.04]I've come to Kings College, London,
[00:24.44]to talk to Dr Jennifer Jenkins
[00:26.47]who's a Senior Lecturer in Applied¹ Linguistics².
[00:29.30]Now Jennifer,  you're quite interested
[00:31.07]in the teaching and learning
[00:32.94]of International English,
[00:34.20]can you explain in general terms what this is?
[00:37.74]It's based on the fact that nowadays the
[00:40.17]majority of people who speak English around
[00:42.37]the world are non-native speakers of English-
[00:45.07]they...they've learnt it as a second
[00:47.15]or subsequent language,
[00:48.73]they use it to speak with each other
[00:50.57]and therefore,
[00:51.59]they're not really learning what's always
[00:53.18]been called English as a foreign language
[00:55.61]-English to speak to native speakers of English
[00:58.41]They're learning it
[00:59.03]for more international communication,
[01:01.50]and that has all sorts of implications for the
[01:03.75]sorts of things that they need to be able to do
[01:06.28]So, what would be the main differences between
[01:08.23]the kind of English that's widely taught
[01:10.19]around the world today,
[01:11.20]and perhaps what you describe
[01:12.42]as a more international form?
