English as she is exported

Abstract

The UK has one natural resource that won't dry up and for which there is an ever‐increasing demand — the English language. For the Algerian, it's the language he'll use to communicate with much of Africa; the Malay will speak English to the Swede; for many under‐developed countries, English can be as important as railways or roads or any other form of communication; and English is now the main language of international commerce. It has been John and Brita Haycraft's aim to bring this resource to as many people as possible.
