There are lots of contradictory researches about this topic but it is something that we have to read about and learn about from our own experiences. Now I will focus on the benefits of learning English as a foreign language. In 2007 I wrote about how to teach English nowadays. I still think the same. Teaching English is not teaching just the language but the culture. Why? Because the understanding of another culture expands people’s horizons. The common arguments for learning English in our country are “getting a better job” or “for traveling”. And it’s true. English is in full development, and knowing or not knowing the language markedly increased the difference between those who can and cannot seize the opportunities of globalization. But we cannot focus just on that. There are many other benefits. |
