EMPOWER: Respond to Globalization through English Proficiency

“Speak English.”

A short phrase yet a very prevailing statement that some people’s ears abhor to absorb; but powerful enough to change things.

While it is true that almost half of the world uses English as a medium of communication, some continue to seek it, in the sense that, many of us continue to battle in achieving such excellent communicative skill. When we were still little, we were taught of the sounds. Comes elementary, we’re familiarized with words. Reaching high school, we learned to combine everything and construct good outputs. But how far have we utilized all of our knowledge and understanding and used them to take bigger steps towards success?

            Our world today now calls for our in-depth and utmost understanding of the different situations our country is facing. As such, we need to be armored enough with skills that will be of big help in uplifting and improving the lives of many.

            In our economy where businesses with other countries are greatly involved, our communicative skills come very handily. When we communicate with clients or delegates by expressing our thoughts and innovation, this becomes our edge. Through our skills, we persuade them. We prove them our professionalism and devotion and creativity when it comes to business. And this will eventually goad them later on to partner and collaborate with us. Specifically, Tourism is one of the fields where great socio and communicative skills are applied. When people from other countries are extremely pleased and impresses of what we can offer and serve by communicating it to them, this builds a good partnership.

            English also facilitates understanding and unity in politics. We are all aware that politics is one of the crucial and complicated facets of our country. But with proper and productive communication, every issue is addressed. It is widely used in hearing, impeachment trials, proposing bills, etc. which has something to do with the peace and integrity of our country. See how powerful it is!

            There’s no way English would be diminished in the field of technology. With the use of communication, our equally innovative and creative inventors have deciphered multiple theories and concepts and hypotheses to come out with something very useful. Moreover, connection through communication with other countries seizing state-of-the-art facilities contributes much to the creation of many things we use to survive- from appliances to gadgets to the tiniest innovation.

            We also should consider our fellowmen seeking greener pasture in the different parts of the world. Because of their prowess in expressing themselves orally or verbally, there is no doubt, agencies instantaneously hire them to offer their good service.  Whatever field it is, they shine in their little ways. That wherever they go, they can carry themselves as to how they carry the place where they came from. It is because they have that clout to show people who they are and what they can do.

            And most importantly, the English Language can congregate every nation and lead them to one common goal.

            English gains supremacy, no doubt!

A sound may turn into a word; a word into a statement; a statement to an expression- that’s how English toils. A simple conversation can turn out to be a big solution. And at this moment, let us begin striving and achieving our aspirations using our greatest weapon- not made out of innovative technology but a product of our bright minds: ENGLISH!
