English as "Tyrannosaurus Rex."
Swales, John M.
World Englishes, v16 n3 p373-82 Nov 1997
The increasing domination of English as the world's leading medium of international professional communication has begun to impact English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs, specifically the question of whether English is becoming too successful. The article argues that resistance to the "triumphalism" of English is a responsibility of EAP teachers. (34 references) (Author/CK)
