Did you recognize that over a billion individuals on the planet currently talk English? According to a record entitled, “English Next” by language scientist David Graddol, “…two billion people [will] be speaking or learning English within a decade.” [1]
English is almost everywhere. The Financial expert states, “[English] is the language of globalization-of international business, politics… It is the language of computers and the Internet… it is the dominant international language in communications, science, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy….” [2]
“English… is an important tool for operating on the world stage,” states John Whitehead, supervisor of the British Council. The capability to talk and also recognize English is necessary in particular areas, occupations, and also line of work. Actually, English is so commonly talked, it is described as, the “lingua franca” [3] of the contemporary period.
However, with the countless indigenous audio speakers trying tasks in the worldwide market, what opportunity is there for ESL (English as 2nd language) audio speakers to contend? ESL trainees take heart. As the Graddol record shows, the worldwide spread of English … will certainly bring about major financial and also political downsides in the future … A future in which monolingual English grads deal with grim financial leads as certified multilingual youths show to have an affordable benefit in worldwide firms and also companies.
Considered That English has actually obtained its worldwide online reputation due, in big component, to globalized power relationships, those firms and also federal governments utilizing trained non-native audio speakers for their global service interaction requirements will clearly see the benefit of employing non-native audio speakers of the English language with multilingual abilities.
