The Historical Account" (origins, America, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South Asia, former colonial Africa, Southeast Asia, the South Pacific, and a world view); (3) "Why English? The Cultural Foundation" (e.g., political developments and access to knowledge); (4) "Why English? The Cultural Legacy (e.g., international relations, the media, international travel and safety, education, and communications); and (5) "The Future of Global English" (e.g., the rejection of English, contrasting attitudes, new Englishes, the future of English as a world language, and an English family of languages).
