Why study English?

English is used broadly as a second language and as an official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth countries and in many international organisations. It is estimated that almost a quarter of the world's population speak English, and 75 countries have English as their official language. English is therefore important for many people, including those who want to travel around the world, as English is the most commonly spoken language, to be able to relate what their needs are to the people in that country. Having people that speak English is paramount for businesses wishing to export to international markets, as most global commerce is done with negotiations in English. Also, companies are looking for people that can speak English, so by learning English through ESL or EFL, people can increase their own chances of getting a job.

Language study has many benefits to both the individual studying and the wider community. Benefits of speaking a second language include increased job opportunities, understanding other cultures, being able to communicate while travelling, as well as understanding your own language better. The language you speak is also closely bound up with your sense of identity and how you view the world, so being bilingual or multilingual can give you slightly different ways of looking at things. It can also make you feel at home in a wider set of social situations.

Advantages of English colleges

There are several ways to learn a language, including correspondence, distance education, online degrees or independent study. However, there are many advantages to studying at an actual college. Studying at college provides a set time frame for completing modules as well as deadlines for assignments and exams, encouraging regular study and learning a new language in an effective and timely manner. Earning a college degree opens pathways to further study, including universities and other colleges. Experienced and qualified teachers offer face-to-face tuition, which involves feedback on a range of language aspects, such as grammar, reading comprehension, aural comprehension, and conversational skills.
Learning a language at college also means regular weekday and weekend activities, which means students are never bored. Rather than solely focusing on study, a college can offer a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports and cultural activities. Colleges can also assist with job interview techniques, CV writing skills, and show students how to find work.
