WHY OUR CHILDREN NEED LEARN ENGLISH?

People around the world are learning English for different reasons. Why our children need learn English on different ways?

One reason is that our access to technology increases worldwide, there is an increase in a need to know English. Approximately, 55% of all written content on the internet is in English. That means that if they can read in English, they will have more access to information than their non-English speaking peers.

If they are able to speak English proficiently, they will people able to communicate with more people. Be it where you live, at work, online or wherever you go. Being able to speak multiple languages often gives you more opportunities in life and work than just speaking one language.

On the other hand, when travel to different countries, English is often the most common “bridge” language. Meaning that you could meet with people from five different countries at the same time and it is likely the only common language between all five people is English. English is able to connect people from many different countries and cultures more so than other languages.

If you increase your English proficiency, you often will be able to get a new job, a better job or a promotion where you are working. You may even get a higher salary or paid more hourly for speaking English fluently.

Often if an employer (a business), is having trouble deciding between two potential job candidates; they often choose (or hire) the candidate that speaks proficient English rather than the one that does not.

But at the end, as a personal reflexion, why are we learning English? Is it only a job obligation? Or is it because we believe in the importance to teach in other language to prepare our students to their future life? Knowing why you and others are learning English is important to be motivate in our projects.
