Increasing Need of English
In the age of Globalization and Information Technology English
has become the most important language of communication
and has been widely accepted all over the world. The ability
to communicate in English is the basic criteria for getting
jobs in multinational companies. Most of the latest information
is available only in English. You need to be a good user
of English in the globalized context if you wish to work
in private organizations, particularly in the corporate
world. In short, English is required in all walks of life.
Desire and Reality about English
Everybody has a desire to be a good speaker of English, and
wants to impress others by their fluency in English. However
this dream is hardly fulfilled. Many of us can't open a
conversation or get into it, doesn't understand what we
read or hear, can't write a paragraph in acceptable English,
fails to argue with or to convince someone or to express
our likes and dislikes or to agree or disagree or to express
our opinion.
Expressing through English has always been a frustrating
experience for many of us. We lose our confidence when we
make an attempt to use English. The fear of making mistakes
always looms on us. This leads to a phobia about English
and gives rise to an inferiority complex.
In fact English is taught in every school and college across
the country. It's a compulsory subject right from the 1st
standard up to the graduation and even post graduation level.
There are many English speaking classes available in the
country. Almost all the bookshops are full of hundreds and
thousands of books and CDs, etc. about teaching English.
In spite of all this help available why do we fail to get
English?
