why do so many countries in the world have English as their first language?
  • The British colonised large parts of the world between 1600 and 1918, in order to become the most powerful (and rich) empire in the world.
  • Most of those countries are independent now (USA, Canada, India, South-Africa, Nigeria etc.) 
  • But still, English is their first language (and sometimes they still drive in the left lane..)
  • King Charles is still the official Head of State in 14 independent "Common Wealth" countries (like Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, Jamaica etc.)

assignment: presentation
  • Form groups of 4 and work together.
  • Pick a card. On each card you will find 1 English speaking country.
  • Find as much information as you can about this country: 

  • Capital city? Currency? Largest airport? What other languages are spoken here? What are the main religions? What are the people known for (stereotypes)? Eating habits/typical food? What are the cultural customs (music/films/holidays/ famous people)?

  • Add your information in a creative way to present to the class and be sure every group member joins in the presentation! Good luck! The presentation will be in class next week.
