- W1504926144 abstract "This chapter examines the cosmopolitan effects of the spread of the English language in the post–Second World War world, as sponsored both by official agencies such as the British Council and UNESCO, and by competing schools of language teaching. It starts by looking at the inception at the hands of C.K. Ogden and I.A. Richards of Basic, a language substitute that reduced the full range of English expression to a few hundred words in order to speed up language acquisition in the Empire. It continues by taking a look at the New Method championed by Michael West in India and Africa: a method of teaching English by sight rather than sound which found favour with a number of British publishers anxious to sell their wares worldwide. Thirdly, it examines the theories and practice of the onetime American Congregationalist missionary Eric Laubach, who in the 1940s developed a scheme of teaching all vernacular languages syllabically. These initiatives, Fraser argues, were united by a common ideology: a desire to spread the values of Western liberal democracy in a world in which they were being squeezed both from the political Left and from the political Right." @default.
