Why do you need to know English
Posted: Dec 14, 2013
Students taking English conversation classes may not realise their spoken English will have a bigger impact than just the conversations within the classroom walls. Why should foreign students learn English in London? For many, they may feel speaking their native language is enough, that they can work and do what they need without knowing English. Still, it is beneficial for students to learn English in London.
One of the reasons to know English in London is that, bilingual employees will be able to learn more and grasp things quicker than employees who have not learnt English in London. This is why the English conversation classes in school are not just helpful exercises. They are a stepping stone to prepare students to continue their learning of English in London. One study found, men earned 3.6 percent more and women earned roughly 6.6 percent more than their co-workers who spoke just one language. This is why speaking English may help students get higher paying jobs when they graduate, because they are bilingual.
English is the language of innovation and also economic development

It may also impress those whom you are doing business with.
It may be all in the science
