Attendance at a university in an English speaking country is often the end goal of a student learning the English language, but this process starts early at English language schools for young learners.

In an increasingly connected world, English has seemingly solidified itself as the global language of Academia, social media, and trade.

There are some advantages to the widespread use of English, as the language does not include noun genders which could otherwise add further confusion. There is a stereotype with some truth to it that native English speakers are unwilling to learn other languages as they are in a position of privilege with the widespread use of their own language. It does seem evident though; that with the increasing use of the language around the world, native English speakers would then have an easier time connecting with other cultures and then gaining an incentive of their own to immerse themselves in those cultures and use that opportunity to pick up on other languages as well. This state of widespread usage of the English language has allowed for numerous opportunities for cross cultural connections to develop. Therefore bringing the world closer together and reducing perceived differences worldwide. Overall, it is evident that the global usage of English has allowed for increased abilities for people all over the world to find success through a common understanding of shared language. So what is it that makes English valuable as a global Language? It is the widespread use of the language for a variety of purposes, as well as the desire for learning the language among people seeking better opportunities worldwide.
