Question

In today’s world, over 7,000 different languages are spoken. English is one of the most recognized languages in the world and is the language of choice for many people across the globe. For this reason it plays a significant role in communication between different societies and organizations. It is important that global workers can effectively use this style of English in order to be successful in the world business markets.

Global English, also known as international English, is the movement towards using an international standard for this common language. It is also the concept of using the English language to communicate across the world and in various dialects. In today’s society of constant communication among people around the world, it is important that the English language is not tied to one local dialect such as the United States, the UK or Australia, but rather represents a broad usage of language so that it can be understood in all countries. When using global English, it is important to write and speak clearly so it can be understood around the world.

There are a variety of techniques that can be adopted to successfully use global English. Avoid sentences and paragraphs which are long and wordy. Try not to use false subjects, such as sentences that start with “It is” or “This has” which can be confusing. Instead, start the sentence with a specific descriptive subject.

Do not use mini word clusters (串) because they may confuse anyone who is just learning the English languages. Mini words are short, common words with one-to-three letters. Avoid using idioms, such as “the tip of the iceberg” and “right around the corner”. Instead, say exactly what you mean. Also, because many languages do not use pronouns such as “it” or “they”, try to avoid them. Avoid using phrasal verbs, such as “keep up” or “get into” because they aren’t easy to understand in some languages. Finally, since most languages have different formats for writing dates, it is best to write out the month, date and year completely.

In a word, it is important to read and write global English. By understanding the concepts of global English and using proper techniques, a business can successfully grow in the global business economy.
