English is almost entirely foreign to us. It is the link of the all nation to the world. The language gap that exists among the different nations of the world is bridged by the English language. English is also the language of the professions - science and technology, mathematics, business, law, diplomacy, medicine, computers and international affairs. The lingua franca of the world is, and judging from current trends,will continue to be, English for many years. All of us to compete with his counterpart from other countries, he has to develop communication competence in the language of the international community - English.
English is the language of the learned disciplines; it is an intellectual language by way of which meaningful and broad exchanges can be carried out. Indeed, if one desires to earn a title as engineer, lawyer, or a teacher he has to develop in his discipline as well as in English comprehension and communication.
