全世界范围内英语的使用者人数已剧增到约二十亿,然而把英语作为母语的人数不到这个数字的五分之一。由于英语的使用范围越来越广泛,作为本族或非本族语使用英语的人数越来越多,而且越来越不受英语使用者的国籍的限制,因此现在出现的一些问题已经显而易见。其中一些涉及到英语自身的标准问题及英语教学的目标和评估标准问题,有些牵涉到更深层的认识上的问题及本族语和非本族语的使用者在这些认识上的重大差别。如一些无知的英语本族语使用者对于那些非本族语使用者所使用的英语嗤之以鼻,不屑一顾。固而引起种族之间的不信任或使这种不信任日益加深。英语的广泛使用与全球性的英语教学职业有关,这一职业现已达到高峰。
The number of users of English worldwide has skyrocketed to about two billion, whereas the number of native speakers of English is less than one-fifth of that number. Due to the increasing use of English, the number of people who use English as a native or non-native is more and more and less and less subject to the nationality of English speakers, so some of the problems that have now become apparent. Some of these relate to the standard questions of English itself and to the aims and criteria of English teaching, some of which involve deeper cognitive problems and significant differences in cognition between native speakers and non-native speakers. Some ignorant native speakers of English disdain, dismissive of, the English used by non-native speakers. This has led to mistrust among races or deepened this mistrust. The widespread use of English is related to the global English teaching profession, which is now at its peak.
