    4 Reasons Why Learning English is so

    Important
    English is the language of science, of aviation, computers, diplomacy, and tourism.

    Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational

    company within your home country or for finding work abroad. It’s also the language of

    international communication, the media and the internet, so learning English is

    important for socialising and entertainment as well as work!

    Let’s look at the top 4 reasons why studying English is so important:

    1. English is the Language of International


    Communication

    English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official language

    of 53 countries and spoken by around 400 million people across the globe. Being able

    to speak English is not just about being able to communicate with native English

    speakers, it is the most common second language in the world. If you want to speak to

    someone from another country then the chances are that you will both be speaking

    English to do this.

    The British Council projects that by 2020 two billion people in the world will be studying

    English. Learning English is important as it enables you to communicate easily with your

    fellow global citizens. When you study English at ELC schools, you will be making

    friends with people from lots of different countries, using English as your common

    language!
    2. English is the Language of Business

    English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for

    people to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce. Research from all over

    the world shows that cross-border business communication is most often conducted in

    English and many international companies expect employees to be fluent in English.

    Global companies such as Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia, Renault,

    Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, have mandated English as their

    official corporate language. In addition, in 2010 the company Rakuten, a Japanese

    cross between Amazon and eBay, made it mandatory for their 7,100 Japanese

    employees to be able to speak English.

    The importance of learning English in the international marketplace cannot be

    understated - learning English really can change your life.

    3. Speaking English gives you Access to a World of


    Entertainment

    Many of the world’s top films, books and music are published and produced in English.

    Therefore, by learning English you will have access to a great wealth of entertainment

    and will be able to have a greater cultural understanding.

    If you speak English, you won't need to rely on translations and subtitles anymore to

    enjoy your favourite books, songs, films and TV shows. Watching movies and television

    programmes in the English language is also a great and fun way to learn it!
    At ELC we encourage students to participate in the social programme to practice

    English outside a class environment. Activities include watching popular English films,

    sports, art galleries, museums, trips and excursions to local and historical areas. The

    programme is designed to encourage students to use and learn English in British

    culture.

    4. Learning English gives you Access to more of the


    Internet

    According to a report by Education First, English is the language of the internet. An

    estimated 565 million people use the internet every day, and an estimated

    52 percent of the world’s most visited websites are displayed in the English

    language.

    Learning English is important as it gives you access to over half the content on the

    internet. Knowing how to read English will allow you access to billions of pages of

    information which may not be otherwise available!

    The Importance of Learning English Today

    Although learning English can be challenging and time-consuming, we can see that it is

    also very valuable to learn and can create many opportunities!
