The Importance of English Language

English language is considered as one of the most important languages of the world. It is widely spoken across the globe, even on the internet. I am not going to write this hubs in an academical approach, but I am just sharing what I think of the language and its importance, especially for us who live in Malaysia.

I speak and write English as my second language. In fact, I learn the language to teach the school children when I graduated in a year time. This course is called Teaching English for Young Learners. So I am goaing to be an English teacher, but this is not the point. I admit that my English is quite limited too, but I am just trying to help.

As a Malaysian who I can say, is exposed to the language almost daily, I totally understand our government's effort to cultivate the interest among the students to learn English language. Yes the language can be difficult, but it can be learned. For many reasons, English is important for these students especially when they grow up.

· Most employers prefer their workers to be able to speak and write English fluently. There are many multi-national companies in Malaysia who need Malaysian work force, but they want and need the ones who are proficient in using the language, as they are going to deal on the international level.

· Most of reference books and articles are written in English. In colleges and universities, it is important for students to look up for references. How are these students going to learn if they have no clues of what they read?

· Malaysians are known for their friendliness. But what if there is a foreign tourist asking for directions, and the person being asked cannot help the tourist, simply because he does not understand or can not communicate in English; would that be a disadvantage? For me it is, because our friendliness can be expressed through some actions, but a little conversation can make a difference.

· The negative perception by some members of the public should be removed. This is one of the barriers that make learning English difficult. Some people think that by learning English language one would forget his or her roots.

These are only my thoughts on the matter. I personally think that every Malaysian should at least be able to use some English, so that this country can catch up with the global growth.
