Abstract

For a long time French and English compete in international life. Globalization has led to the internationalization of education. With the desire of universities to become international universities, the position of foreign languages, such as English, French, German, Japanese become more important. In France as in other countries one of the most important languages is English. Hagège says that to impose one's language is also to impose one's thought. It seems that France is becoming more open to English. In addition to the growth of foreign languages, it is necessary to consider the consequences of internationalization for cultural preservation, the prestige of the national language, linguistic and cultural diversity and the quality of the university. Fioraso, the former French education minister, has published a law that is considered unacceptable for higher education unions. On May 22, 2013 teachers-researchers and students were mobilized, against the project of reform higher education examined at no charge by the National Assembly. Teachers-researchers and students were mobilized on Wednesday, May 22, to protest against the proposed reform of higher education examined at no charge by the National Assembly. In general, researchers who evaluate the internationalization of higher education tend to share the idea that internationalization opens opportunities that are more desirable than dangerous. This article discusses the influence of English, because of the internationalization of education in France and the domination of the United States. These two colonial languages continue to compete and the widespread use of English has been rejected by some people. Both have some prestige, English is Shakespear's tongue of a coast and French is the language of Molière.
