WHY STUDY ENGLISH IN
AMERICA AND NOT IN GREAT BRITAIN (U.K.)?
American English has grown steadily in
international significance since World War II, parallel to the growth of
U.S. political, economic, technological and cultural influence worldwide.
American English is currently the dominant influence
in "World English" (cf.
British English) largely due to the following:
- Population: U.S. vs. U.K. (70% vs 17% of all native
English )
- Wealth of the U.S. economy vs. the U.K., &
influences
- Magnitude of higher education in America vs. the
U.K.
- Magnitude of the publishing industry in America
- Magnitude of global mass media and media technology
influence
- Appeal of American popular culture on language and
habits
- International political and economic position of the
U.S.
