What kind of study abroad should we pursue?

by Teacher Erika

With the world progressing and globalization continuously spreading, people have gained more interest in pursuing studies abroad. Most take up language classes as it helps break the language barrier. It is also thought that it is more effective to take such courses in other countries than in their own.

Language distinguishes a country from the rest. It creates a national identity in a way that whenever it is heard, it immediately identifies a certain culture. Although having different mother tongues mean well for culture, it creates gaps in terms of international communication and causes language barrier. This leads to more people yearning to learn languages for various purposes such as entertainment and business. The increase in the interest to improve their linguistic skills also led to the boom in the language school industry all over the world.

Some may find having language schools in their own countries as they have the world right within their reach; however, there are still some who think it is not effective to learn a foreign language in their motherland. This is because the opportunity to practice what has been taught is lacking as the language they are learning is not the mother tongue of the country they are in. The best example of this is English. It is considered one of the most widely spoken languages in the world leading to many people from different walks of life wanting to pursue courses in this language. Initially, they attempt to take it in their own country but the lack of application resulted in limited improvement. Consequently, they prepare themselves financially and mentally to fly to western countries or other nations where English is used. Since speaking the language is inevitable from the time they arrive, their skill is enhanced significantly. Their improved linguistic skills will be of great advantage for them in employment, education, and business opportunities.

Summing it all up, due to the high demand for linguistic skills, the best kind of study that people can pursue abroad is language. It is more effective to take it to the language’s motherland for better application and in turn, open greater opportunities for them in the future.
