This article examines the global extension of the English language, analyzing its influence across education, media, and international relations. Drawing on scholarly literature, institutional reports, and digital content, the study explores the historical and contemporary factors driving English's dominance. The findings reveal that English facilitates global communication and access to knowledge but also contributes to linguistic inequality and cultural marginalization. The discussion emphasizes the need for inclusive language policies and recognition of diverse English varieties to balance global integration with linguistic equity.
