No one denies the importance of English as a global language nowadays. It is clear that English has become more dominant around the world. In some countries it is used as the native tongue, and other countries learn it as a second language in their schools, which makes English widespread. Many reasons contribute to the increasing spread of English. For example, it is used for communication between people around the world. It is also the language of modern times and the language of science and technology.

There is no doubt that English is the language of communication between people of different cultures. It is also the language of computers that helps to communicate with people around the globe through e-mail and the internet. People who know English can deal with the information and communications revolution that the internet has become.

Another reason for the spread of English is that it is the language of the modern era. It is used in various areas of life such as the economy, e-commerce, medicine, and aviation. It is the language for tourism and travel as well. These reasons motivate people to learn English.

One of the main reasons why English is so dominant is that it is used by universities and institues for educational and research purposes. It is also an important requirement in most government and private-sector jobs.

It is quite clear that English has become a necessity today. We need it in several areas of life. The English language has become easier to learn than ever before with the availability of many easily accessible educational resources such as the internet, books, and educational institutes around the world.

Re: Is it really possible to learn English on the Internet??

Elfsleepy — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:51:58 GMT

Wow, that's an old post.
It is possible.
Here in China, the education below university level are all examination oriented, the system makes perfect teachers for teaching the basic things like grammer, sentence structure. Most of these education do no good for practical use of the language. And I feel that the 'possiblility' you mean is the possibility for improving the speaking and listening parts. You also from China?
Once I graduated from school and had my first job I found out this truth, my beautiful school record made out dumb English speaker, then I started using internet to learn most of the oral and writing like sitting here posting reply.
Got a good language exchange partner is good, I used to have one who willing to talk to me everyday and that helped a lot, even if it was only by typing. But it really took me a long time to find one, lol.
I am now at the start of my Japanese learning, I am also trying to find someone can talk to me in Japanese online like I did before in English.

But anyway, I have thankfulness for the WWW that helped me to raise my English to this level. I could make no one sentence when I frist came out of school.
I can say that internet is the cheapest way to practise oral language which is open to all persevering learners. Not everybody has the financial condition for them to choose to go abroad to talk to the native guys. But internet to some extent give us this sort of environment, and it is for free!

Oops, a bit gossip...Cheers! ^0^

Wow! Difficult question. I would suggest that you contact a bookstore near a college or university and see what is currently being used there. There are people here who are actively involved in teaching at institutions or privately, and they will probably have some suggestions as well.

Another motivation letter - would someone please check?

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:21:40 GMT

Hi all,

I'm Indonesian and I will apply to Dutch Studies program at Leiden University next year. Please take a look at my motivation letter. It's started pretty straightforward and I'm wondering if it would sounds strange. This letter doesn't include very much details such as my age, nationality, enrollment year etc as those qualifications have beeen mentioned in the CV. Any comments will be highly appreciated.

LETTER OF MOTIVATION

Basically I donât have any formal education background in linguistic field. I took accounting degree and have been working in the field of accounting ever since. Yet, though limited, I grew up hearing and speaking several languages: Javanese, Dutch and English. My grandmother speaks Dutch fluently and my mother and aunt took English major back in the university. As a child, I already learned how to count and speak simple sentences in Dutch. I learned my first English by watching television and reading comic books and when I went to a traditional market I liked using Javanese to be able to bargain more.

Living in Indonesia with its many tribes and each tribe with its own vernaculars, I find it amusing to see how people react once they know you can speak even a little bit of their language. Iâm also interested in seeing how language and culture are closely affects each other. I supposed that is the reason why I typically look to work in an international environment. Even within accounting division, my tasks often require me to deal with people from different countries. My first employment was at EF where besides accounting experiences, I also learn a lot about communication from having to deal with teachers from many different countries such as USA, UK and Australia. My second employment again required me to deal with suppliers from China and Malaysia, and my present employment put me in high frequencies of written communication with staffs from India, Hong Kong, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Spain. All those experiences enhance not only my interest in languages but also my social and communication skill. Though not directly related to my previous study, my past employments combined with my interest in language has encouraged me to take deeper study.

As an accountant, I was trained to analyze things closely. It became habit and I analyze almost everything, many times also myself. After some years in accounting field I realized that even though I enjoyed being an accountant, I also have ability in communicating with people. I enjoy analyzing people, listening to their problems and then trying to help them find the best solutions available. I like to state things into diplomatic arguments, to assure peopleâs acceptance of some circumstances or ideas [U1] . Those aptitude combined with deeper study in language will be a great personal asset. For that reason I would like to develop my skills in language and communication. In the future I was looking for careers in an international field that mainly could fulfill my thirst of challenge, whether in accounting, communication or linguistic capacity that somehow enable me to contribute into the societyâs benefit; such as in the non profit organization or governmental institution.

While English is the first foreign language I speak fluently [U2] , my specific interest in Dutch language grew among others because Dutch has been a very familiar language for me, even before I started to learn English. The historical bound between Indonesia and the Netherlands put the Netherlands into one of the first foreign country I learnt about at school. My interest in the Dutch Studies program at Leiden University has much to do with the information I obtain regarding its interdisciplinary program and some good references I acquired from my Dutch course teachers and families staying in the Netherlands[U3] . With its international orientation, complete curriculum and highly qualified lecturers, Iâm ensured that this program is the best place to learn about the Netherlands, its language, history and culture.

In the past few years I have gained knowledge and capability needed to undertake this study. My professional experiences have strengthened my self-managerial skill, and my personal maturity makes me reliable and responsible. My familiarity with international environment will help me to adapt socially. Iâm fond of sports, reading, dancing and singing; which tells that Iâm a casual person. But then again, I like challenges and Iâm serious in relation to matters I decide to achieve. Iâm well aware of the programâs heavy load especially during the first year, and Iâm prepared to comply with all the requirements this programâs offering.

[U1]Anybody understand what I meant here?

[U2]Should I just delete this sentence?

[U3]Does this part have dual meaning? Between "my family" or "my Dutch course teachersâ family"?

Re: Is it a possible that Chinese could take the place of English?

monfrancom — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 21:16:35 GMT

Well, all things are possible... some would have us believe! If the Chinese had the same collonialist attitude and kill all those who won't be assimilated, as what brought about the spread of English, who knows?

I've searched some to find the file sent to me some time ago, but to no avail. One of the statistics given in that slide show indicated that considering their population numbers, there were as many "brilliant / intellectually - gifted" citizens in China as the whole of the American population! Some three hundred milion that is (300 000 000). To be clear, the population of the USA is 300 000 000 only a portion of whom are brilliant. China has some 300 000 000 of its estimated 1.3 billion people that are deemed very very smart, to the point of being classified as brilliant!

Soooooooo! Conclusion: it is by far more likely that Chinese will never become as universally spoken as English as the Chinese will more readily learn English. Much to their advantage. (I mean, you don't have to be brilliant to learn English, and the English of this world tend to be hardened unilinguals).

In my search for that aforementioned unfound file, I did find this video ( you can also find it at You Tube ) Very enlightning! It adresses this issue within the first two minutes. It is, for me anyway, mind boggling... and it is outdated (stats given end in 2006). Although it is customary to make predictions based on trends and present knowledge, I put forward that very few are so illuminated that they can include all contingencies when anticipating the future - even the more brilliant ones!

I do know that here in Canada, Mandarin, and others of the spoken languages in China, are a much more common option in school : universities, and high schools as well. I also read/saw/heard in the news of business people chosing to learn one of the main languages spoken in China so as to facilitate their entry into their market/s.
