Berylaube 00What is “Globish”? Why should we care?The search term “Globish” returns over 100,000 hits on Google. = A combination of “global” and “English”. A simplified, yet standard version of English, based on a core vocabulary of 1500 words. The word itself and the concept behind it are the brain child of Jean-Paul Nerriere, a business man who speaks English, and his own version of it, Globish, as additional languages.The premise: If every English learner learned this simplified form of it,they’d all learn much faster and be more effective.A seductive concept… Fewer vocabulary words theoretically means less work which always sounds attractive to language learners desperate to gain fluency.
Dr. Hetty Roessingh, a senior researcher at Calgary University : Grade 1,native English speakers students normally have a vocabulary of 5000 words. By grade 12, increased to 80,000 to 100,000 words. We should enrich the vocabulary of (ESL) (EFL) students, not whittle it down. -
