World Englishes

1. What is the difference between World English and World Engshes?

-In my quick reresearch here is the difference between World English and World Englishes. World English refers to the English language as a lingua franca used in business, trade, diplomacy and other areas of global activity, while World Englishes refers to the various varieties of English and English-based creoles that have been developed in different regions of the world.

Perhaps the most common classification of Englishes, especially in the language teaching world, has been to distinguish between English as a native language (ENL), English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL).

With 2 billion speakers worldwide, English is the largest language by the number of speakers. It is also the third largest language by the number of native speakers. As the most common language, English has the power of connecting people from many different cultures, building relationships and understanding.

The fields of media, engineering, medicine, shipping, air travel, international business and commerce all rely on English as the common language which can facilitate communication between countries anywhere in the world.

2. How would to use English intellegibly?

-We can use English intelligibly in a clear and informative way to understand. We just need to be careful to speak clearly. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to write, concisely and comprehensibly, basic forms of office correspondence.
