  English language – Historical background
  By the end of the 20th century, Britain had established the pre-conditions for English as a global language. Communities of English speakers were settled around the world. The position of English in the world today is thus the joint outcome of Britain’s colonial expansion and the more recent the rise of the superpower USA. According to the Crystal, 85% of international organizations now use English as one of their working language.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  English is used almost exclusively in publications, meeting, magazines, medium of conference, and journals. English is now the international currency of science and technology.

  Computers and software
  Computers were invented in English-speaking countries. That`s why the programming languages are based on English letters. Some words like “begin” and “end” are even taken from daily English vocabulary.

  The Internet
  The Internet was basically an American development, and it naturally spread most rapidly among the other countries of the English-speaking world.
  It is not surprisingly that the Web is dominated by English. Nowadays, about 85 percent of the text on the web pages is in English. There's no question that the proportion of English will remain disproportionately high for some time to come.

Second language (L2) speakers have English as a second or additional language. The third group of English speakers are the growing number of people learning English as a foreign language (EFL).
