English as a Lingua Franca


        A number of researchers have studied conversations in English as a Lingua Franca and have noted a number of somewhat surprising characteristics, including:

•  Non-use of third person present simple tense -s (She look very sad).

•  Interchangeable use of the relative pronouns who and which (a book who, a boy which).

•  Omission of articles where they are mandatory in native-speaker English.

•  Increasing of redundancy by adding “inexistent” prepositions (We have to study about…, The article treats of…).

•  Pluralisation of nouns which are considered uncountable in native-speaker English (informations, staffs).

        The evidence suggests that non-native speakers are not conforming to a native English standard. Indeed they seem to get along perfectly well despite the fact that they miss things out and put things in which they ‘should not do’. Not only this, but they are actually better at ‘accommodating’ - that is, negotiating shared meaning through helping each other in a more cooperative way - than, it is suggested, native speakers are when talking to second language speakers (Jenkins 2004). In other words, non-native speakers seem to be better at ELF communication than native speakers are.

CHANGES


Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing our planet. Rising temperatures and sea levels, more frequent natural disasters, and changes in weather patterns can have devastating effects on ecosystems, economies, and human health. While individual actions like reducing plastic use or driving less can make a difference, larger systemic changes are needed to truly address the problem.

Governments and businesses have a critical role to play in mitigating climate change. This can include investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar, implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable practices across industries. The international community has also taken steps to address the issue through agreements like the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature increases to well below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

It is important for individuals to also stay informed and advocate for action on climate change. This can include supporting political candidates who prioritize the issue, joining grassroots movements, and educating others on the urgency of the problem.
How has the international community addressed climate change?
