Internet project I 14 Internet project II 15 Design a page for your portfolio about the effects of globalisation on Austria. Things you might wish to include: One of the signs of Americanisation is the use of English as a world language and the number of English words that are now international. However, the English language itself has been influenced by other languages, and a large number of words commonly used are, in fact, foreign. • Use the Internet to find out what language these words came from. • Find some more examples of words from other languages that have influenced English and test your classmates. • English is said to be the “lingua franca” of the modern world. What exactly does this mean? In what contexts and for what purposes do people use English as a lingua franca (ELF)? Have you ever used it? What experiences did you make? In what ways is ELF different from “normal” English?
