The Importance Of The English Language

In some foreign country, the first language of children is English. And when they grow up, they need to use English to cope their assignment in secondary school or university, especially university, lots of lessons will use English. Not just in university, some of lesson out of the university also use English. Many of the top industry publications and research is in English, and people need to know English. They use English skillfully because they always speak. But now, not only the foreign country, some developed country children learned English when they are young, in some Kindergarten, they try to learn the pronunciation of letters. For the English become global language, people would like to learn English when they are young. For learning English in the school, children will have an extra skill for their life when they grow up. Speaking a second language to other people takes courage and is often a transformative experience for people. But on the other hand, when the people were young, they can learn English in the school. Because of this, it makes lots of people rely on the school, they just know that if they can pass the test in the school, their English is good. It is wrong. And as the English developed, many materials are in English, as people who want to know what the result is, they need to know

Some people think that English should not continue to be taught globally because many ethnic and national groups are afraid that they will lose their cultural identity and native language. There are also those for whom it is too hard to speak English at their work. Cultural identity reminds us that we are a part of a history that defines our past and shapes who we are likely to become. People also fear that they will not speak their native language anymore and that may mean they will not know their own identity well. Furthermore, people got a headache at work because they can’t communicate English, because, in fact, English is not an easy language to learn for many people. These reasons are the why people worry today. According to Debate.org,

Many individuals come to the United States not knowing much of the country or the language. These individuals come believing, it will be an easy start once they get settled in. How can that be possible to start quickly? The main language in the United States is English, many come not knowing one word in English some are fortunate to know enough to get around. Imagine a person coming into the United States at the age of 14 and have to write a paper in English.

Now in common day culture, there are different aspects in which our language takes place. English is used in our culture in order to communicate and to allow freedom of thought and choice be voiced out. It also allows for various people of different backgrounds to communicate with one another through a well-known language that was likely taught at their educational institutions. It also allows for loss of individual culture, where only English is known and their respective tongue is not.

From my perspective, people will feel a sense of belonging when they talk with people who have same dialect with them, and they are more likely to trust each other because of familiarity and kinship. If people speak with the same accent, they possibly come from the same area and have similar life background. It’s easier and quicker for them to get used to each other and found close relationship. Also, it is

Britain has become an empire through expansion and colonization of other countries, Britain has occupied many countries, and this led to change the culture of these countries.

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.

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

Due to the acts of the colonialists, they managed to create nations that have more intercultural mixing. As a result, these countries would quickly adopt the more dominant languages and cultures regardless of how far apart they are geographical. Their indigenous languages end up being irrelevant in this case because that is how businesses, schools, and other services operate in their countries. In Australia for example, most

In the United States, we are striving for equal education every day. In the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education court case, the Federal District court decided that segregating schools was harmful and detrimental to the lives of African Americans. The reason that schools could be segregated was the buildings, transportation, curricula, and teachers, of white and African American schools were similar. Linda Brown and her sister appealed their case to the United States Supreme Court in 1950. The U.S. Supreme Court decided that even though the schools were separate but equal, this separation was in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since this court decision in 1954, the government has been trying to make schools more equal. English Language Learners are a group of students that have had equality issues in school and are a work in progress (Landmark Cases.org, n.d.).

Whilst it may be easy to think that language immersion is all about moving to a foreign country, the truth is that it is actually more about creating an environment around you.

The place and importance of English is the whole educational system of India has been a subject of much heated debate and the heat has not yet subsided. 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. Public opinion in different states and different language groups is pulling in different directions ‘each varying from the other all variants from the truth of realities.’ We have not achieved a consensus and enlightened opinion and hence solution has not yet crystallized.

English is currently the most important language in the world and is considered the main language of communication. English speakers use it in different ways or circumstances in their daily lives, whether at home, work, school or in different states within the United States of America. English over the years has become the most spoken language in the world. People who speak English as their mother tongue use it differently, so in my essay I want to explain how English changes according to the place of comfort you are in.

In this paper, I argue if our modern-day society needs a global language such as English. English as a global language is necessary because it is more efficient, globalization, and most people already have some knowledge of English. English is of great importance in many places around the world, for this reason, it would be an excellent candidate to be the world’s lingua franca, or a global language.

From the first research question, we can conclude that, from what we gathered from the data, mastering English language is a key to teach in English school, (Clark and Paran, 2007). Language inefficiency or speaking English with accent can cause multi-faceted problems (Coughlan, 2013). The situation can be complicated if a teacher has other weakness(es). In fact, in such situation having other strong point like strong behaviour management could be decisive, especially if behaviour problems are common at school. When students (majority or thereabout) realise that you are using very simple English in your teaching or you have an accent, they even think you are not familiar with all behaviour policy. They try out different things testing your resolve, (Coughlan, 2013), unfortunately sometimes even the good ones join the bandwagon. We can see how demoralising it can be when some parents fail to appreciate cultural differences, hence different pronunciations and regard these teachers as not good enough, (Braine, 2013). Their stance results in direct micro-aggression. Students display micro-aggression behaviour, as from the transcripts, we can clearly see that most often they badly behave, particularly, to these teachers only. To conclude, the main struggles that teachers who have English as an additional language are many as we are going to conclude the second and third research questions, but if English as an additional language is not good enough or the accent and pronunciations are hard to understand, then students perceive you as a low status teacher (Andrew, 20007) quoting Rajagopalan (2005), which leads to problems coming from every side, unless the school has zero tolerance on “disrespectful behaviours” and it works very hard to educate students on the importance of tolerance and mutual respect.
