Rezumat
Globalizarea este un concept extins in zilele noastre si se refera la integrarea si interdependenta domeniului economic, social, cultural, tehnologic, politic si ecologic i activititatile locale. Limba engleza este limba intregii lumi astazi si procesul globalizarii i-a oferit mai multa putere si influenta asupra celorlalte limbi. In Europa centrala, precum si in cea mai mare parte a lumii, cunoasterea limbii engleze devine o aptitudine importanta a vietii moderne comparabila cu talentul de a conduce masina sau a folosi calculatorul.
