ENGLISH - FRIEND OR FOE OF COMMUNICATION?
ENGLISH - FRIEND OR FOE OF COMMUNICATION?

Summary/Abstract: Could English be the expected answer to the worldwide problem of international communication? What is the price to pay for such a universally accepted ‘panacea’ for clear, unbiased communication? The aim of this paper is to look into the matter of communication and language acquisition both from the teacher and student viewpoint. How well can we manage language development so as to turn English into an effective communication instrument across culture and generation gaps? The present paper will attempt an analysis of the above mentioned issues based on both class observations and a set of questionnaires completed by students participating in English taught programs within the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE).
