I am an ESL trainer in India for the last 30 years. In the Indian KPO sector, it’s mandatory to understand American and British English. I have a variety of Indian English snippets to offer from the corporate training rooms.

This has been a topic in my advanced classes for some time. As a teacher in Switzerland, I’m in the minority teaching in American English. Sadly, I find very little in the standard coursebooks that reflects or even points out the differences between the many varieties of English. This is a great little clip for all teachers, publishers and even students. Thank you Macmillian for publishing this great Global coursebook.

Hi there William,
Thanks for your comments. Prof Crystal is very good at explaining these trends and changes in language – the ‘Global English’ articles in the series are really fascinating.
I hope you do enjoy using Global. Let us know how you get on with the course!
