Czy język angielski jest już językiem międzynarodowym?
Abstract
The article discusses a number of fundamental glottodidactic issues relating mainly to the issue of recognition of English as a global language. The article observes that the mere suggestion that English is to be regarded as a global language is not a sufficient condition to consider it for this kind of language. First, what is to be to assessed is the precise answer to the question what one means while thinking about learning a global language, as well as what are (if any) the fundamental differences between learning this kind of language and learning a foreign/second language. The second part of the article is an attempt to answer such questions.
