As the global economy grows and develops exponentially year after year, multicultural communication becomes more and more important. With the ever-increasing interactions among people of different cultures, it is more important than ever that the majority of the people on the planet learn to speak the same language. It appears, at least for now, that that language is English. While there are hundreds of languages spoken across the world, English is the most commonly spoken language at present. English is not the oldest language on the planet; in fact, Modern English has only been around since about the 1600’s. It is also not the easiest language to learn; that honor goes to Esperanto, a language that was created specifically to be learned in less than half the time of any other language on the planet. The English language is a rather strange hodge-podge of world languages, with its roots in the Germanic languages. Over time, different influences made their mark on the English culture and language, creating the rather complex but popular tongue we know of today. The world is filled with ancient, beautiful, and expressive tongues, ...
... and millions of people would rather see a different language come to prominence in world business, but the fact is (for better or worse), English is as close to a world language as we have right now. At least we have something.

The new way to learn English

The good news is that it is becoming easier than ever to learn English. ESL (English as a Second Language) programs are developing and improving all over the world. Now, technology has made a quantum leap in ESL delivery. Due to communications technology, people around the world can now learn English online with the help of a live web English teacher. This is one of the most practical applications of web technology to come out in a long time. Now you can learn English for conversation, travel, or business from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, on live webcam. Those of us who have taught online usually say the same thing – students miss out on that personal interaction. With this new method, it’s not much different than sitting across the table from a private tutor.

Making learning more efficient with technology

Many of the teachers have come to specialize in Japanese to English tutoring, but speakers of any language could benefit immensely from this type of instruction. Part of the teaching process, especially with language, also involves body language, interpretation of facial expressions, and understanding tone. This technology is perfect for such instruction, opening up whole new possibilities. Hopefully, it will lead to millions more people around the world being able to effectively communicate, strengthening an already growing world economy and global village.
