Unit 1
Course introduction
Global English
I learned about 5 topics first, EFL (English as a foreign language) teaching English language for foreign language, ESL (English as a second language) teaching English language to students who are use second English, EIL (English as a inter language) teach in English language to inter students differ culture and differ nation teaching EIL strive to use inter language and ELF (English as a lingua fanga) is middle language to communicate with people different language. Second, it's about role of English in global,Asian and Thai involve travel, advertise, education, trade and airline etc. Third the three circles of English by Kachru
The inner circle is the countries use English is mother tongue such as United kingdom, United state, Newzealand and Canada etc. The outer circle is the countries use second language or official language such as Philippins, Malasia, India and Nigeria etc these countries have been colonized of England so, people in these countries can use English. And The expanding circle is the countries use English for foreign language or middle language such as China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Egypt, Indonesia and Thailand etc. Forth, Different between EFL and ESL i.e. people who take English as a second language learn faster than people who take English as a foreign language because people who take English as a second language are at least able to read and write a little bit of English. On the other hand, people who take English as a foreign language, know neither write nor read in English, For the teachers ESL they are native speaker use English all subject so, they have knowledge more than EFL teacher use English only English subject, For student ESL they can use English language better than EFL students because ESL students they use English in their daily life but EFL students use English only their classroom, and the last topic is world Englishes from David Crystal's video
1. English spread around the world so, we have to know English language and It make us yo know about culture or anything in each countries. 2. If we know English language we can understand the same way. 3. Although most of countries use English is middle language but accent in each countries not the same such as "Robot" in South Africa refer to "traffic light" , "chaos" in England refer to "chaotic railway or traffic railway" , all of these became to varieties of English i.e. native varieties is British, America, Australian English, the countries adapt English became their language are India English, Singaporean English and African English etc.
Finally, we have to know inner circle is standard but we have to know culture context and varieties of English also. For my classroom in the near future I can assign project work such as travel because my students have to do itinerary search information the place that that they'll go. When they search information in English they can use English outer the classroom and they will know and have target or reason to use English for what?
I think the first class that I studied face to face with teacher nothing is easy.
I think everything so hard for me such as the time vocabulary and idea I can't to adjust myself.
I'll try to practice to read deal the time and attempt to study, I think I can do it but it have to use the time
Although I think anything is hard for me but I felt fun excited and challenge for me.
Thank you for your reading
