Abstract:English is winning more and more converts from the francophone countries of sub-Saharan Africa. One of those countries is Senegal. The necessity for learning and using English in Senegal is felt in several domains, including music, tourism and entertainment, science and technology, commerce and industry, media and communication, and education. While French will continue to be used as the official language of administration, education and law, the influence of English is likely to become stronger in the nonformal sectors and in activities such as sports, music and art, patronized by young people.
