Abstract

Linguistic inequality has become an increasingly prominent global issue due to the dominance of English as a global lingua franca, which may marginalize non-native speakers and their native languages. This study aims to explore non-native English speakers’ perceptions of global English use, including its benefits, challenges, and implications for multilingualism. A qualitative case study design was employed. Participants consisted of nine non-native English speakers selected through purposive sampling from five countries: the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Sweden, and the United States. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that English functions as a key tool for global communication, academic access, and career advancement, while also presenting challenges such as accent bias, reduced confidence, and cultural displacement. Most participants perceived that English dominance reinforces linguistic inequality. The study highlights the importance of promoting multilingualism as a more inclusive approach to global communication. These findings provide implications for the development of equitable and sustainable language policies in international contexts.
