This thesis investigates the role of English as a global language in the context of modern globalization, international communication, education, science, technology, and intercultural relations. The study analyzes historical, sociolinguistic, and pedagogical factors that contributed to the worldwide spread of English. Comparative and analytical approaches are used to evaluate both the advantages and challenges associated with the global dominance of English. The research also discusses linguistic imperialism, multilingualism, and the preservation of national languages in contemporary society. The findings demonstrate that English functions as the leading international lingua franca and continues to influence academic, economic, and technological development worldwide.
