Discuss the extent to which the English language has influenced contemporary global media, and the ways in which it has done so. What factors have contributed to its influence? In illustrating your answer, you should use material from Book 4 and at least one other book (Book 1 – Histories of English) of L201, as well as one journal article (English World-Wide | A Journal of Varieties of English) The EMA task is fairly broad and you will need to reflect upon how you can most effectively select from the module materials to build an effective argument within the allotted word count. In responding to this task, you will first need to consider the degree to which you think English has had an impact on various types of media around the world. Next, you need to think about the different forms this impact has taken. The third part of the question asks you to identify some key points or factors which have led to the dominant role of English in the global media.
