4 reasons why learning English is so

important
Why is 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 socializing 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!
