Abstract

English has become a global language spoken by millions worldwide, functioning as a primary or secondary language in numerous countries. Its widespread use can be attributed to several key factors, including the colonial expansion of the British Empire, the economic influence of the United States, and the spread of globalization. Additionally, the internet, the dominance of English in education and science, and its cultural impact through media have all played crucial roles in its global prominence. This article examines the historical, political, and cultural reasons that have contributed to English becoming the world's lingua franca, and its continued relevance in international communication.
