Why learn English?

“Why do we need to learn English, teacher?” “I am not going to travel abroad”. “We can´t speak Spanish well unless we are going to be able to speak English”. These are the comments of my students when the school year begins. Then, my work as a teacher begins to convince them that learning a Foreign language is not an option but a necessity.

As the world becomes more interconnected every day, communication plays a greater role than ever before. Technology has expanded connectivity allowing people to communicate anywhere in the world. One of the greatest inventions of the 20^th century, the world wide web transformed the way we communicate with people around the world.

The power of the internet allows us to communicate in real-time and gives us options on how we connect in. Not only that, but the ease of transportation and affordability has allowed us to travel around the world and experience new environments. But now, these remain one final obstacle: Language.

There are over 6,500 languages spoken around the world. After Mandarin, English is the second most commonly spoken language throughout the world. English is considered to be one of the most important languages to learn.

Why?

First, most international business is conducted in English. Would you like to be employed by an international company? They have a minimum English language requirement in order to be hired or advance in your career. Many multinational companies are being established in Rionegro, Guarne, El Carmen and Marinilla. They need bilingual staff. You could work there!

If you want to study abroad, you may find that your school has a minimum requirement of English that you must have in order to attend. Moreover, in Colombia every student who graduates from any University program requires demonstrating a certain level of English.

English is also one of the main languages of entertainment. Movies, songs, magazines, books are all waiting to be understood. There is nothing like reading original texts or listening to a song to understand the full meaning of what is trying to be conveyed.

Do you like science? If you do, then English is a must! Most of the all papers published in scientific journals are written in English. If this is not enough to convince you of the importance of English, you will find that there is over a billion pages of websites in English-which is the primary language of the internet. The number of ways English can come in handy is limitless!

Our school gives you the opportunity to learn English in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Taking advantage from your English classes and teachers’ knowledge. You can learn to communicate in English!
