Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence

More than six billion people compose the planet Earth up to this date, with individuals coming from different regions and countries. How can they connect? Through what is called as LANGUAGE. 

It is said the language is the most used medium in communicating with fellow individuals today. According to my research, there are about 7000 more or so distinct languages that keep people connected to one another. Due to the vastness of the Earth and more than one language established all around the world, how can we understand others from foreign countries? Simple, establish a language to be learned by all, the most famous linguistics that is famous all over the globe, ENGLISH. 

To learn a new language is quite hard for some and alien to many, especially those from different mother tongues and with different literacy rates. The Philippines for example is comprised of so many regional dialects aside from “Filipino” the national language. To learn yet another language could be quite difficult. I am a Pilipino in which I am a firsthand witness on hard it is to establish and teach English especially to those more fluent in “Filipino” or “Ilokano” here in Ilocos Sur. It is quite difficult for some because some are not quite interested to learn the language especially teenagers like me. 

This brings us the dilemma that we have to solve now. Evidently, if there is no communication prior to the understanding of many, there wouldn’t be any unison that may lead to other hostilities among nations. 
Solution? Proper education and practiced. Language can be learned in school but it must be continued also at home. Activities like this blog should be established so that we’ll know the importance to learn English so that someday we’ll be nationally or better yet globally competitive in speaking the language. 

Once these skills are acquired, we are now safe to say that we are one-step closer to global unity and competitive. United through linguistics, through the people engaged in the learning of English, this vision of global competence may be achieved.
