THE IMPORTANT OF ENGLISH IN EDUCATION

Although a variety of languages are spoken all over the world, English is an important language to know. English is the language most international business is conducted in, it is used in more areas of the globe than any other and the only language spoken by more people is Mandarin (one of the languages in China). In many countries, the citizens have different tribal languages. Even though English is not a native language, the governments select English as an adopted national language. The government documents and laws written in English will be less subject to interpretation than if they had to be written separately in every tribal language. All school-related and workplace connections require a solid understanding of the English language. If you are studying English at school, college or university, remember that getting an 'A' grade in English is almost worthless, in terms of communication, if you cannot speak the language. Spoken English is used in the best careers, the best universities, and is increasingly being used at job interviews. Grammar Main article: English grammar English grammar has minimal inflection compared with most other Indo-European languages. For example, Modern English, unlike Modern German or Dutch and the Romance languages, lacks grammatical gender and adjectival agreement. Case marking has almost disappeared from the language and mainly survives in pronouns. The patterning of strong(e.g. speak/spoke/spoken) versus weak verbs (e.g. love/loved or kick/kicked) inherited from its Germanic origins has declined in importance in modern English, and the remnants of inflection (such as plural marking) have become more regular. At the same time, the language has become more analytic, and has developed features such as modal verbs and word order as resources for conveying meaning.

Auxiliary verbsmark constructions such as questions, negative polarity, the passive voice and progressive aspect.

Education is a philosophy within itself without even responding to the different categories of a student's learning day. English education is, in my opinion, kind of a shady subject. When one talks about their English class, what aspects are they talking about? Is this referring to the grammar sections, the vocabulary sections or the criticizing of novels? Through the use of grammar a person can increase the way others perceive what they are writing. In my opinion it is not the way something is written that is important, but the content of what is written. Vocabulary is another such device. It is said that a person can feel only what they can express. In other languages around the world, there are words that put more emphasis on the same word. For example the word love, in the English language means one thing. Wether it is toward a mother or toward a spouse it has one meaning. Now is the love you feel for a mother the same as for the love you feel for a spouse? No, and in other languages there is a difference between these two emotions. If a person cannot express the way they feel how can they feel this way? I feel vocabulary is an asset that needs to be cultivated in order for a person to evolve into an educated person of society. The other aspect of English education however is not as particular as the other two. The analysis of literature is in itself a whole philosophy as well. It is a way for a person to open their mind into different thoughts that would not have been open to them otherwise. The idea of group leaning is for different ideas and interpretations to be presented. I believe this is a main part of English education.

I believe the purpose of education is to better a persons life through knowledge and assist them later in life. Education is a vital part of anyone's life. Without it a person could not get a job and make it in the real life. I believe however that teachers must keep in mind that one's education is up to the individual student. A teacher should support the student, as well as the student supporting the teacher. If a student feels that a specific assignment or subject is unneeded then

it should be reviewed. If it is vital the teacher should simply explain why the assignment in necessary, and the student will then have the desire to do the task at hand. Education is a vital part of my life. I believe that I have the materials to go far in life but without the knowledge base that is given in a learning atmosphere such as school, this will not be possible. I would however like to be given the choice of what to learn instead of being forced to do certain activities. Young people today do not like to read. Why is this? I believe is it because all their lives books and school have been shoved down their throat by teachers and professors who do not care about the student's desires and opinions.

The age of technology and world-wide communication via computers has increased the need for a common language a thousand-fold.

English represents the fourth most spoken native language across the world. Considering the actual numbers of individuals using English as their first language, it is the principal official language of the world.

Being the primary language in international affairs, it has achieved official status even in countries where it is not the primary language.

Indisputably the primary language used in global commerce and trade, officials in many countries speak English to enable them to interact efficiently with business visitors, tourists and immigrants.

Though software allowing translation of whole web pages is now available, with varying results, English remains the primary language used on the all important World Wide Web.

Whether it is software, applications, free or shareware, the language typically used is English. This equally applies to social networks and many other websites.

Software manuals, fact sheets offering product specifications and hardware installation guides are usually available in English long before being translated into other languages.

In addition, international students attracted to universities in the US, the UK, New Zealand or Singapore, as well as Canada and Australia, will find that the primary language used here for every activity involved in their studies is English.

This includes most technical or medical periodicals giving international acclaim to scientists, engineers etc, as well as peer to peer publications, such as journals, for instance.

Furthermore, a good working knowledge of the English language opens up a large variety of job opportunities in multi-national companies across the globe, as well as in government related agencies, such as the United Nations facilities in New York, The Hague, Vienna and Geneva.

The English language is therefore of utmost, increasing importance in every individual's education.

All in all, the education in universities should be done with English for three reasons. First, students who know English are able to find their favourite job

related with their field. Second, they can communicate with others internationally. Third, as a major language in universities, English makes accessing information easy for students. In my opinion, internationally, people need one common language. For many years, English has been the common wold-wide language, and it will be in the future. For this reason, if you want to follow trends, new gadgets and technology, modernization of the developing world, you have to know English whatever age you are in.
