Knowing Is Good But Not Knowing Isn't A Crime
A great applause to this common perception concerning English language speaking at a very high level of intelligence or skill which sadly draws a line of discrimination, leaving the unable ones being deprived of even the right to be socially acceptable. This shockingly discriminatory extent is reprehensible. Being unaware of this mere language is not an unforgivable sin, and we shouldn’t let it belittle us. However, this is not meant to oppose this medium of communication but the way we respond to it which is simply not worth it.
Truly speaking, survival without it would be a very unrealistic approach when knowing the fact that half the population of the world speaks it and probably almost the whole world will be one day or another. All I want to pinpoint is to make this realistic thought known that the people of many non-English-speaking countries aren’t even bothered, at the least, to make serious mistakes or blunders, and funnily enough, don’t seem to be embarrassed at all. Then why us?
It is also observed that at the time of an interview, negation in various ways is the response to those who can’t put themselves across in the English Language. Even if the nature of a job, doesn’t have to do anything with it. For instance, an applicant to teach Urdu at a school or a college level must be fluent in English is absolutely preposterous.
Students approaching for the professional studies despite having had a mediocre sort of schooling and inadequate number of seats, have to go through a very risky procedure of an aptitude test where again the lacking in English proficiency is the case for the rejection of admission, and in the name of this aptitude test the institutions make a fortune which makes them justifiably corrupt educationists.
In the initial stages of the studies, sadly speaking, teachers in both governments and private universities are not even remotely interested to design a sort of a short course on their own, rather than hopelessly depending on the concerned authorities, covering the basic areas in the English grammar enabling students to be able to at least understand the lectures in English. Not only Writing but presenting anything before an audience is a nightmare to students. Here I’m at a loss to understand that are these teachers blind to the fact that students coming from an average educational background, no matter which one particularly of them they are from, are unimaginably bad at English Language even after spending a decade at their so-called grammar schools. Someone should really ask them that what they do to the students spending the whole blazing decade.
This worn out practice doesn’t seem to change. It looks like that person hailing from the middle class will always be left on his own to learn this way of communication; the schooling is just not good enough to help them learn it. No wonder after learning English as a subject for more than a decade when one gets a job, they are compelled to run to the English Language Institutes__ the only chance of survival. So after a trying day, when they are supposed to be on their way back home, they are headed towards these institutes which are playing a very vital role in helping such people learn it.
Now this would be another issue to say how many of them make it. Obviously, the chances are slim for a guy having been hectic from dawn to dusk to be able to give rapt attention to something he has been fearing his entire life.
I would just want people being unaware and frightened of this Language to bear it in their minds that it’s just a Language. So, you don’t have to be so afraid that you can’t even give it a try. We should learn it from many out there speaking it very wrongly with an amazing amount of confidence. Commonest complaint of the lack of environment can be addressed if we ourselves try to speak it at our homes. It is also a fact that people usually opt for short cuts like books easily available on the markets claiming to have such self-study programs that can surely help you speak to a great extent and the best part is -- only in 6 months. This claim is not all that surprising, but the people getting ready to read them. But as a matter of fact, this turns out to be a futile attempt as well. This is something that requires a constant process of learning; something like a routine under some guidance in which you have basic structures of Applied Grammar and along with this you have people before you so that you can push yourself to see what happens if you are to express yourself.
As I already mentioned above, there could be many other ways to have improvement in our verbal communication. For a thorough look into it, follow the link.
