Abstract

This paper examines the role of English as a global lingua franca in facilitating international communication and its implications for cultural diversity. As English continues to dominate global interactions in business, technology, and media, its impact on cross-cultural exchanges and cultural preservation is profound. This study explores the benefits of English as a common language for global communication, analyzes its effects on cultural diversity, and assesses both positive and negative consequences. Through a review of literature, case studies, and interviews with stakeholders across various sectors, the paper provides insights into how English influences cultural dynamics and offers recommendations for maintaining cultural diversity in an increasingly interconnected world.
