The Bridge to Our Differences
According to Vishal Yadav, “English language is a strange paradise. It is where fish flies and sparrow swims.” It is remarkable on how English can shape one’s identity and manifest relationships between people. Learning English is important to learn and study because in the topics World Englishers and Kachrus Concentric state the importance of englishes that can help us communicate in many people not only in our country but also to other places for the reason that English is a norm and it includes all the variety of language. On the other hand, in Kachrus model, he proposes that the English comprises a unique cultural pluralism, linguistic, heterogeneity and diversity. He categorize the usage in three category. First is the inner circle that represents the traditional bases of English that is used for their mother tongue and primary medium the countries that belongs in inner circle are Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many more. Second, the outer circle that includes countries which have gave through extended periods of colonization this outer circle includes countries such as Singapore and India the uses English as a second national language or medium as they communicate. Last, the expanding circle this last circle are not the save effect in inner in outer circle but they used English for business and international process the countries that belongs to this is Greece, China, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
On the other hand I read in the article that there are another way to group the English by dividing them into, new, pidgins creoles this two can be connect in outer circle group of word englishes prepared by Kachru’s he argues that such framework of new englishes by affirmation and recitation. However, there are assumptions that this English such processes are part of the whole project of decolonization among formerly colonized countries where ‘owning’ English may mean independence. The phenomenal spread of English, carried mainly through globalization, has resulted in the diffusion of the language.
These play a vital role in our lives. Without these two, we cannot communicate with our allied countries for the reason that this model is connected to each other the main purpose of this is to promote and easily understand our language even if we are in different country. Because others are using Kachru and World Englisher as their primary, secondary and to expand language to foreign as its medium. No matter how we see it, at the end, it tells that English connects us to one another even when we have a lot of differences including the language that we speak.
