Cambridge English, Proficiency Masterclass, Students Book, Gud K., Duckworth M., Rogers L., 2012.

    This fully-updated and revised edition of Proficiency Masterclass provides material which gives prospective candidates appropriate preparation and practice for the 2013 Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE) exam. The material in this course also provides opportunities for candidates to develop their English on a broader level for success in the real world beyond the exam.
The units in this Student’s Book contain practice of exam-type tasks for all the parts of each paper in the exam. High-level vocabulary and grammar are developed throughout the course. The grammar syllabus is supported by a Grammar notes section (page 149) written by linguist George Yule. The Review section (page 166) contains exercises that review and consolidate the language covered in the main units.




The Last Lingua Franca by Nicholas Ostler.
The Emperor Charles V is supposed to have remarked in the 16th century that he spoke Latin with God, Italian with musicians, Spanish with his troops, German with lackeys, French with ladies and English with his horse. In most books about English, the joke| would be turned on Charles, used to preface the observation that the language he dismissed as uncultivated is now a colossus bestriding the world. Nicholas Ostler, however, quotes it to make the point that no language's triumph is permanent and unassailable. Like empires (and often with them), languages rise and fall, and English, Ostler contends, will be no exception.

English is the first truly global lingua franca, if by global' we mean 'used on every inhabited continent'. But in the smaller and less densely interconnected world of the past, many other languages had similar functions and enjoyed comparable prestige. Modern lingua francas include French, German, Latin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Yet these once-mighty languages are now largely confined to those territories where their modern forms are spoken natively. Though at the height of their power some acquired - and have kept - large numbers of native speakers outside their original homelands (as with Spanish and Portuguese in South America), few retain their old status.
