    Rajaendram and Khor (2015) quoted an open letter from "a group of prominent Malaysian" that embraced integrative motivation for developing English proficiency: "'[I]f we aspire to be more proficient in the language, we are only trying to be better citizens of the world'" (¶4). What a breathe of fresh air among all the integrative motives that articles like this one often highlight! Rajaendram, Rebecca, & Khor, Ann-Marie. (2015, August 9). Speaking the global language.

  • We must improve language learning and international education at all levels if our nation is to continue to lead in the global economy; to help bring security and stability to the world; and to build stronger and more productive ties with our neighbors.
  • The United States is a country made up of many cultures—and we often celebrate that diversity. But just as often, we rely on the predominance of English as the language of global business and higher education when looking toward the world.

  • powerful languages of the world may express national identities, or they may be the medium for the expression of other collective identities distinct from or even in conflict with the nation
  • Absorption and incorporation may be the preferred option for the powerful; for others – the majority, we suspect – the plurality and diversity of human expression, even within the world’s most powerful languages, is what the intercultural approach, moving from language learning to languaging, can both celebrate and encourage
  • It is therefore our task in the next chapter to begin to discover a way forward, to find theory and method sufficient to the task of creating critical dispositions for languaging and being intercultural
