World Englishes: An Investigation of International Students' Goals and Experiences

Listening time: 9:56 min


Summary: The video talks about how important english is to people. Nowadays there are more non-native speakers than native speakers. They interviewed four international students to see what english means to them. A man who is from Russia thought both native teacher and non-native teacher are effective. A girl who is from Japan likes English, but sometimes she hates English. She could not decide between native and non-native speakers which is better. The last interviewee who is from India thought English will become an international language and he hoped everyone can speak and understand one language.


Personal: In my opinion, English is very important because it is used all fields, such as business, education, etc. I like talking to native speakers than non-native speakers because I can understand native speakers clearer than non-native speakers. I like to study with native teachers so I can learn English exactly. I hope everyone in the world will use English as a common language, so we can communicate together easily.


Key words: native speakers, non-native speakers, english, effective.
