Get ahead with your English

It was predicted as early as the 1700s that① English would one day be the global② language and that has proved to be the case in the last few decades③. The grow th of international companies and the great advances in communications have started the trend④ for learning English as a foreign language. In today's world, being able to speak more than one language, including English, is how you stand out and get ahead⑤.

However, learning English as a foreign language⑥ is very difficult in the absence⑦ of a native language environment. Some respected theories⑧ on language acquisition⑨ believe that to attain⑩ a high level of fluency and accuracy in a foreign language, you need to be surrounded⑪ by it. But sadly, the chances that we will all have the opportunity to live in an English­speaking country⑫ are small. Therefore, most of us have to rely on what we can learn at school⑬ as part of the school curriculum⑭.

Our latest English curriculum encourages teachers to create a rich language environment in the classroom. What this means is that they make sure⑮ there is an adequate⑯ amount of⑰ input in English conveyed to the students through various mediums⑱. This can take the form of⑲ reading and listening materials which must be of the highest quality⑳. Quality input ensures○21 quality output, whether it is speaking or writing○22.
