ESL

The history of ESL
ESL education began with the rise and spread of the British Empire in the late 15th century. The language had expanded because they needed to comunicate with those whom they were trading so with this the english became the lingua franca of the ones who were doing bussines with the British.

Teaching English outside England
The British sent many teachers overseas to educate a upper-class colonist and local government officials.

The goal of these teachers was to educate this generation in english so they would grow up and take a place in the goverment of the overseas country or colony.
