In their opinion in countries that English is not their native language it has negative impact on culture and mother tongue. However, there are many reasons that demonstrated that use of English as a medium of instruction have positive impact on everyone’s life. As a study clearly says that student has the ability and skills to learn many languages (Begg, 2012). He adds that teaching a language in schools as a first or second language qualitatively vary because if all higher-study materials are in English so students to needs to be proficient in that language and that transition is smooth from school to college or college to university. In addition he clearly mentioned that” Junking English as a medium of education will only push us back”.

Therefore, all of these researches widely declare that English as a medium of instruction has benefits to improve educational system of and to develop a country that English is not their native

It is alive and burning problem gripping the minds of all people, high and low, and it has been discussed threadbare, upside down and inside out, in parliament, public forums and the press. And yet we are no nearer a solution.

I am an international student from China. English is required for every student to learn as a second language in China. I was exposed to English in the first grade. General grammatical structure and vocabulary are taught through primary school to high school. My parents also enrolled me to multiple English summer camps in order to put me in an environment where English is the only language spoken by students and foreign teachers. My oral skills were improved through the experience of summer camps. In the formal English class, the teacher would use numerous strategies to teach. For instance, the teacher used cassettes to play the textbook’s readings in order to help students to learn the correct pronunciation. In the morning, students were often required to read out loud and repeat the vocabulary learned on the previous day to memorize the vocabulary. Chinese and English were both used by the teacher to teach in class. Through my secondary school experience of learning English, I would say the things I learned in English class gave me a basic understanding of the sentence structure and a limited vocabulary expansion. By the time when I started studying abroad in the United States, I realized what I learned in China were not enough. I had a hard time to understand the teacher’s instruction and communicate with my host family. My host family encouraged me to join the school’s cheerleading team and other school activities. This experience gave me a chance to bond with American

English is a language which can be traced back to the 5th century by migration and resettlement of its speakers into the different parts of the world. Beginning its foundation of the American colonies into Europe and into the 17th century with its establishment of the East India Company (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010). The 200 years of presence that English had in India left a huge impression on its language orientation. Both attitudinally and linguistically English has made its place into the new cultural environment and fresh communicative needs. Despite the government’s support towards Hindi, the language inculcating the largest number of speakers under it compared to the other Indian Languages has not yet been able to take up the prestige that English holds in India. India’s larger population is bilingual with proficiency in English. Today it has earned the privilege as the language of the world’s developed countries, their technologies and economy (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010). It is the very reason that this language has caught the attention of the future generations irrespective of their home country to put English at the pedestal and give development of their native tongue a second place. The provision that English gives on the professional front is too strong as compared to any of the other languages in India. It has not only acquired a wide range of functions in the Indian society, but has also linguistically evolved its own characteristic features at the

English is the second spoken language in India after Hindi and probably the first in reading and writing language in India. In India, the purpose of English is not only for to make communication with the outside world, but also for within inter-state.

Perhaps the most dramatic the development that has taken place in the field of English language teaching in the last 50 years has been the shift in its primary function.. from being mainly the native language of nations such as the UK or USA, to being mainly a global means of communication. The speakers of English whose L1 is another language already vastly out number native English speakers, and their number countries to grow. For most of its learners, English is therefore no longer a foreign language. This development has brought with it a number of changes in the principles and practice of English language teaching.

In my country, English is taught as a foreign language. The school that I was teaching is a bilingual school. They use English as one of instruction languages. However, in a certain level, the instruction language is mixed between L1 and English depending on the need of students. I teach English for senior high school students. Their ages are ranging from 13 to 14. The students in this context are first-grade students in senior high school. They are divided into two level. The one that I am preparing the material for is the pre- intermediate level students. These students can understand a simple text even though they do not understand all vocabulary. They read graded reader book every week and have a test every two month. This reading activity aims for comprehension and vocabulary practice.t

In this article, Karmos and Csizér illustrate the way acquisition of language in different age gaps through incentive to learn English language as a second form of communication. The study offers a description of learning English in three different learner populations in Hungary. The population included university students, secondary school students, and adults. The researchers used questionnaires that were given to the population of the study to evoke their feeling on learning the second language so that they could understand the difference between the acquisitions of English as their second language.

Many Americans due to the fact that they have been in America they believe that the English language is easier to master than another language. Moreover, U.S college students believes that since they speak English frequently throughout the day they have mastered the English language. However, this may sound like common sense but it not true. Studies “from the U.S Department of Education shows that many high school seniors are graduating unable to read at grade level and one in four cannot read at even the most basic level” (abcnews.go.com). These studies completely refute the theory that mastering the skills of English is unnecessary. Malcolm X who “was one of the most articulate and powerful leaders of black America during the 1960s” even struggled with the English language (palomar.edu). In addition to that, he was born in America too. Evidence to the previous claim is in “Learning to Read,” where Malcom X said it himself saying, “Trying to write simple English, I not only wasn’t articulate, I wasn’t even functional.” Malcom X did not let that stop him. He performs some effective techniques in his pursuit of enhancement that college students emulate if they want to improve. Practicing, Reading, and learning new words are three effective techniques that college students should use to reach their mastery level of the English language.

Approximately 27 percent of people living in Texas, above the age of five, know how to speak Spanish. Luckily, I fall under that percentage raised in a Spanish speaking home and enrolled in elementary knowing nothing but that language.
