Thesis statement: Students in the career of technical Degree in English can learn
good-standard English to strengthen the language skills, to travel abroad, to get a
job, in order to succeed in life (personally and professionally).
Language is generally taught and assessed in four language skills and all
language learners will need to strengthen language skills and to develop their sills
in each of these areas; and language classes incorporate activities related to all
skills. Listening to reading contents in the language that you are learning is a great
way to develop vocabulary and comprehension. It is important to make listening
and reading actively rather than absorbing the content. For example, someone
can choose listening materials like videos, films, music, news article, etc.
Developing speaking skills will involve gaining fluency in spoken interactions with
others, as well as practicing the pronunciation; and to practice pronunciation try
reading aloud after a recorded text, or speak to people, with classmates or
language partners in online exchange. A good writing skill allow you to
communicate your message with clarity and ease to readers. It helps to write a
report, plan or communicate our ideas online via a blog, etc. A correct grammar,
punctuation and spelling are key for writing. The reader will form an opinion about
the author or writer, based on both the content and presentation. And to improve
writing skill is reading an article or a book then pick up new vocabulary and engage
with different writing styles. Finally, improving reading skill reduce unnecessary
reading time and enable people to read more focused and selective manner. It
also helps to increase the comprehension and concentration. In order to improve
reading skills, we need to have clear reading goals, choose the right texts, use the
right reading style, and use note taking techniques. We can read a novel,
magazine, a newspaper article, a short story, comic books, etc. like instruments to
gain reading. All these language skills are important for language learners if they
want to get better their comprehension and have accuracy in the language, the
learner must get practicing their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
On the other hand, learning English can help people to travel abroad more
easily because in many countries, English is the international language. When
people travel abroad they will be able to quickly and easily make reservations,
ordering food, and booking accommodation; and when people are checking in their
ticket at an airport, they can easily clarify them. Visiting foreign countries can also
help people to learn about cultures, to socialize with the locals in a tour destination,
and learn about their lifestyle and their customs. It enhances confidence that helps
people to make new friends and ask them for recommendation and suggestion to
avoid dangerous places. When you travel to another country, you can practice the
language through communicating with people. Like when you are at an airport or
in an airplane you can interact with other travelers or share experiences about the
trip with foreign friends. It also helps people to learn new words or phrases and
expressions from different places and countries.
This is another advantage about learning English, you can travel abroad to many
countries you want and you will have no problems to make reservations in a hotel
and checking ticket at an airport, and you can communicate with people around the
world and learn a lot of different cultures.
