Resposta esperada

Memo: Colonization spread English chiefly through institutions—administration, education and trade. In Africa and Asia, colonial governments established schools and civil services that taught English as the official or administrative language; in the Americas and Oceania, settler institutions, legal codes and commerce reinforced daily use. These mechanisms combined with print, maps and missionary activity to normalize English. Recommend an exhibit centered on a colonial-era schoolroom display (desk, primers, and bilingual signage) plus maps showing administrative networks to illustrate institutional and everyday processes that carried English across continents.

Explicação

A resposta aborda como a colonização facilitou a disseminação do inglês por meio de instituições educativas e administrativas em diferentes continentes, como África e Ásia. Além disso, sugere um artefato relevante, um ambiente escolar colonial, que ilustra de forma concreta o impacto dessas instituições na propagação da língua. A combinação de exemplos específicos e a proposta de exibição reforçam a compreensão do processo histórico.
