The Role of English as Second Language

     

         The globe is endlessly revolving, and as it moves, change is continuously penetrating the human mind and behavior. Language is everyone's tool to compete in the unstoppable race of developments and inventions of work for our business and academic community. The Almighty is indeed the highest for He was able to build the human anatomy with mind that can think and adjust to his environment. 

        English as a Second Language (ESL or TESL) is a traditional term for the use or study of the English language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking environment. That environment may be a country in which English is the mother tongue or one in which English has an established role. Also known as English for speakers of other languages (Nordquist, 2016).  

          The world is communicated by peoples of different beliefs and cultures. As of the moment we easily accumulate information, we understand cultures and we visit places in just a click. Unfortunately, in order for everyone to access everything through that click, they have to know, understand and learn English. This worldwide change has given English the power to communication and become more popular, thus, making it as the most spoken language in the world. It is also the reason why it becomes the second language of different countries rather than their national language as second to their mother tongue.

           As a result, there has never been a greater demand for classes to learn English as Second Language. English is the gateway to a world of knowledge, commerce, and culture, a lingua franca that gives a student access to the world in a way that other languages do not. Just as Latin was the most important language for a thousand years and French for five hundred, English is today the key to participating in the global conversation. There are a variety of ways to lean English as a Second Language, including computer programs, audio tapes, classes, and immersion. Picking the right method for you requires some insight and self-understanding (Bloomsbury International, 2013).
