GLOBALIZATION, ANTI-GLOBALIZATION AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE: WHERE ARE WE, WHERE ARE WE HEADING?

Abstract

Globalization is the process of increasing interdependence between countries, especially in the fields of economy, politics and culture. What makes globalization possible is the ever-increasing capacity and efficiency with which people and things move and communicate. However, after the protests against the World Trade Organization summit in 1999, known as the "Seattle meeting", a serious anti-globalization movement began all over the world and continues to this day. Globalization in the Western sense has been made possible by English. This has led to English becoming the dominant and international language of communication in many countries as the language of education, business and many other sectors. In this article, the current state of globalization, anti-globalization and foreign language teaching/learning, especially English, and the vision for the future are shared.

KÜRESELLEŞME, KÜRESELLEŞME KARŞITLIĞI VE İNGİLİZCE: NEREDEYİZ, NEREYE GİDİYORUZ?

Abstract

Küreselleşme, ülkeler arasında özellikle ekonomi, siyaset ve kültür alanlarında artan karşılıklı bağlılık sürecidir. Küreselleşmeyi mümkün kılan şey, insanların ve nesnelerin hareket etme ve iletişim kurma kapasitelerinin ve verimliliklerinin sürekli artmasıdır. Ancak 1999 yılında "Seattle buluşması" olarak bilinen ve Dünya Ticaret Örgütü zirvesini protesto için yapılan eylemlerden sonra bütün dünyada ciddi anlamda bir küreselleşme karşıtlığı başlamış ve bu durum devam etmektedir. Batılı anlamda küreselleşme İngilizce sayesinde mümkün olmuştur. Bu durum da birçok ülkede eğitim, iş ve pek çok diğer sektörün dili olarak İngilizcenin hâkim ve uluslararası iletişim dili olmasına yol açmıştır. Bu makalede, küreselleşmenin, küreselleşme karşıtlığının ve başta İngilizce olmak üzere yabancı dil öğretimi/öğreniminin mevcut durumu ile birlikte geleceğe yönelik vizyon paylaşılmaktadır.
