More than two hundred years ago, to foresee the international economic and cultural life in the future, modern German philosopher Leibniz have insightfully pointed out that mutual exchanges among the countries need a universal language for communication. The Unit?ed States and Britain, on the other hand, have the dominant position in international affairs, which makes English become a domi?nant language in the world. This paper tries to figure out the internal and external factors that help to push English into a popular world language basing on the process of the English language's development.展开更多

Generally speaking,the factors that influence foreign language learning can be divided into internal and external factors. Whether internal or external factors, they are interconnected in playing their different roles in learners' process of acquiring a foreign language. Internal factors are things like learners' age, intelligence, language aptitude, attitude, personality, etc while design of curriculum, teachers' instruction, the status of target language culture, and access to native speakers can be categorized into external factors influencing learners' foreign language learning.展开更多
