Abstract

This article examines the role of the English language in international communication and analyzes its historical development, global expansion, and contemporary functions in diplomacy, business, education, science, media, and digital communication. The paper explores how English has become a global lingua franca and discusses both the advantages and challenges associated with its dominance. Particular attention is given to cultural exchange, globalization, linguistic diversity, and the future of multilingual communication in an increasingly interconnected world.
