Why English Classes Are Essential for Students
Global Communication

English is the most widely spoken language worldwide, serving as a bridge across cultures and countries. Students who learn English can access international media, collaborate with peers globally, and participate in cross-cultural conversations.

Academic Success

Many textbooks, research papers, and online resources are published in English Vedantu. Proficiency in English helps students excel in subjects beyond language—science, technology, and humanities often rely on English materials. Exams like IELTS, TOEFL and SAT require strong English skills for admission to universities abroad.

Career Opportunities

English is the dominant language in business, technology, and international trade. Employers value candidates who can write professional emails, deliver presentations, and negotiate in English.

Critical Thinking & Creativity

English classes go beyond grammar—they teach analysis, persuasion and interpretation learn-to-speak. Students learn to evaluate literature, craft arguments, and express ideas clearly, which strengthens problem-solving skills.

Challenges & Considerations

Overemphasis on English can sometimes overshadow local languages and cultural identity.
• Students may feel anxiety or pressure if English is taught rigidly rather than joyfully.

The best approach at The Writing Studio is that of a balanced teaching, valuing English as a tool while respecting native languages.
