AB English has, on the one hand, a guaranteed status in Germany as a general school subject andas a medium of instruction in a number of bilingual schools and in the “International StudyProgrammes” at university level. It is also established as the official business language of largerGerman companies. Beyond the legally established status, it is used in numerous formal orinformal international contact situations. There is, on the other hand, a growing resistanceagainst the spread of English in the country from the side of private organisations as well asparts of the German government. Nevertheless it seems likely that English will make furtherinroads into Germany. It may, in the long term, become more acceptable if it can be changedinto a real pluricentric global language —which I have proposed to call “Globalish”— withgenerally accepted specific features for each linguistic background —French English, Ger-man English, etc.
