Abstract

The article explores the dominant role of English as a global lingua franca, tracing its historical roots in British colonialism and the rise of the United States as a global power. English has become indispensable in key domains such as international business, science, diplomacy, and digital communication. The article highlights how English facilitates global collaboration, particularly in academic sphere and trade, while also acknowledging the challenges it poses, including linguistic inequalities and cultural homogenization.
