Advantages of Learning English

Dear Students, 

Welcome to my blog about English Language,

There are many reasons to learn English, but because it is a difficult language to learn, it is important to focus on exactly why it is you want to learn English. In this blog  we will look at some reasons why English is so important. I want all of you to add your comments, writing advantages to this list.  If you want to write about disadvantages, that's fine too. Also feel free to comment to the posts of your fellow students. At the end of this activity, I would like you to print the  list and paste it at home at a place where you can see it. It will motivate you  to keep going even when you are tired of trying to figure out which witch is which!

This forum will remain open throughout the semester and you can log on anytime to post your comments but to get the credit for a comment, you need to post it before 12 pm, Sunday, February 10, 2013.

- English is the most commonly used language among foreign language speakers. Throughout the world, when people with different languages come together, they commonly use English to communicate.

- Knowing English will make you bilingual and more employable in every country in the world. Not only it is an important skill for employment but being bilingual is also good for your cognitive faculties.Cognition is the mental act or process by which knowledge is acquired, including perception, intuition, and reasoning, which means that if we are bilingual we have more paths to process information and respond to it.
