AN INTRODUCTION TO THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

English, as a universal language, has a unique position in the world which influences people in all spheres of their lives. Be it social life, education or job atmosphere, it holds its unanimous position in our lives.

A decade ago, English was just an official language to a majority of non-native speakers in the world. But now, English language holds its position not only in the official atmosphere, but in all spheres of life. Just imagine someone making a post in facebook or other social sites which is completely devoid of its original meaning (even though short posts are the trend, at least the meaning should be understood), people will find it hard to understand what he/she meant by the post. So having less proficiency in English can really be an obstacle in our social lives.

Another example which I would like to quote is an interview I conducted with a candidate who applied for the post of Spoken English trainer in my company. You would understand how tiring it would be to interview nearly twenty candidates in a day for filling up a vacancy. And this guy was the last one who came for the interview. I checked his credentials and it made my heart ring with hope that this could be the man I am looking for. Having this great impression in my mind ( regarding the credentials only; he didn't speak a single word until now), I asked him to introduce himself. He started with ‘My name XY’. That made my heart startle wondering where the ‘is’ had gone. I thought that it could be a careless mistake and asked him to continue. He told me his place, family details, education and hobbies too. You could guess what happened. Let me quote some of his answers here.

I am coming from XX.

My family is three members.

I has two childrens.

I(something is missing) postgraduate in literature.

(LETTERS IN BOLD SHOWS THE MISTAKES HE MADE)

Look at these four sentences from a post graduate in English literature and someone who aspires to train children to speak English. How does it sound?

This is the situation with the majority of people where they don’t know grammar rules and even if they know grammar rules, they don’t know how to apply it while conversing with others.

Isn't it high time to check your proficiency in English so that you won’t commit the same mistakes?

 If your answer is yes, this blog is definitely for you...

Again, learning to speak English should be made a habit and you can’t learn to speak English fluently within seven days or a month as some of the websites advertise. It takes a lot of time and effort and that’s why I am here to help you..

I strongly recommend a student-teacher interaction just like in a normal classroom. Ask your doubts and clear it as soon as possible.

COME, LET’S START THIS WONDERFUL JOURNEY TO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF ENGLISH; TOGETHER; HAND IN HAND…
