Who Speaks English Today? ENL, ESL and EFL

Very useful linguistic center website that provides a briefly idea of what ENL, ESL and EFL mean. Focusing on territories it also discusses about status and roles, providing information such as approximately number of speakers around the world and possible reasons for the English language spreading (socioeconomics, political, etc). Some authors mentioned in the text are: Kachru (1992); Crystal (1995); McArthur (1998); Modiano(1999) and others.
