Internet Activity 3: "Jay Walker on the world 's English Mania"

Your only task in this activity is TO TAKE NOTES!

After Watching:

Once you've watched it, consider what was said and what you noted.

Here is an example of my notes:

mania = Beatles, sports, religious
can be good, alarming, or deadly.
Chinese students huge groups
2 billion trying to learn Eng.

China = largest Eng. speaking country by 2009 = 3rd grade start Eng. = by law
opportunity
they study many hours a day
80 million take a test, 25% is in Eng
drill and repeat the teacher
tsunami? take over other languages? No, its 2nd language.
Universal languages = music for emotions, math for science, now English for problem-solving

main point = English mania is a "turning point"
global/common problems, global conversation, in English.
