The best proof that technology is at its booming stage is the birth and the continued development of the World Wide Web. Everyday, millions of people go online as a part of their daily routine.
Internet is More than Just a Phenomenon.
The Japanese CEO goes online to check the stock market, a host of an American daily talk show checks the news around the world online to get a picture of the things that he can possibly discuss in his program, the dutiful housewife living in the Philippines checks the literature of her children’s medicines in a medical website. A German student checks his mail for recommendations his adviser makes in the thesis he sent the night before and the fashion-minded modern French woman checks fashion websites for the latest trends. Truly, the Internet has become a way of life.
English is Like Good Music
There is one common thing among these people who live around the world; they are searching for online resources that are presented to them in one language – the English language. While there are some websites that provide translations, most of the available websites are in the English language.
The words of the English language are like lyrics to a very popular song and lines to a movie rerun that is played over and over. You hear it being spoken even in the narrowest street in your neighbourhood. No matter where you go in the world, you have a very good possibility of coming across someone who speaks English. It dominates the world in many ways and it will be very difficult for someone who does not know how to speak English to mingle with other people.
Not a Time to Worry
Fortunately people who find difficulty speaking English need not fret because after years of waiting, they can now learn English speaking online. This is yet another breakthrough that will benefit a lot of people. It will not only benefit the people who wish to take online English courses but it will also benefit the geniuses who painstakingly programmed and created these modules and integrated them online.
These geniuses have made online English learning flexible as the target audience of this type of learning range from pre-schoolers to retirees. They have also made it a fun experience thanks to the different mode of instruction that they have successfully designed. Most of all they opened the gates to English instruction to those who fear to take spoken English courses because of the thought that they may be laughed at when they commit a simple mistake in diction and intonation.
Birth of Opportunities to Learn and Earn
The recognition by different types of people from different countries and different walk of life of English as the universal language has made English lessons online a lucrative business for many companies, programmers and spoken English experts. This has become the greatest impact of the language to technology. Gone were the days when one is required to enrol in an institution that provides formal education on the English language. Learning English, with the help of technological advancements, is now within arm’s reach.
