THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH

English is present in our daily lives. If you have access to the Internet, most of the
information there is in English; if you like listening to pop songs, lots of them are in
English; if you go to the cinema, most film production are in English; in other words,
we are in contact with English all the time. There are about 700 million speakers of
English around the world. In some countries it is the first language, like in the United
States of America (U.S.A.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.). In Canada, for example,
people speak English and French as languages. In other countries like South Africa,
Pakistan and India, it the second official language. And we cant forget people who need
to speak the language for professional reasons: the world of science and business uses
English as a means of communication. In this sense, English is considered a Lingua
Franca.

THE SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH STUDENT

1. Always remembers and understands that language is
speech above all else and that ears are more useful than
eyes in acquiring a foreign language.
2. Speaks English in class at all times with the teacher and
with fellow students; tries to speak English with the
secretaries and other teachers, too, as way to give even
more practice and help to create a rich learning
environment.
3. Is self-confident. Reaches beyond his capacity, rising
mistakes when trying to convey an idea but is receptive to
corrections.
4. Tries to reproduce pronunciation as close as possible,
taking advantage of the teachers performance model.
5. Tries to infer the meaning of new words rather than
translating and flipping the pages of the dictionary.
6. Does not question the irregularities of the language in
search of grammar rules. Tries to learn more inductively
than deductively.
7. Is a participant rather than spectator. Participates as fully as possible in
classroom activities; helps to build the English atmosphere; analyzes his or her
difficulties and errors to understand language differences.
8. Asks questions; takes full advantage of the teachers knowledge of language and
culture, and joins all extra activities that the school offers.
9. Has perseverance rather than expectations.
10. Communicates his or her needs, suggestions and ideas directly to the teacher ; a
good teacher is always ready to improve, helping each student achieve his/her
specific language objectives.
11. Dedicates time outside class to English (watching English TV or movies,
listening to English music, searching the internet or reading in English, etc.).

and Christmas. The picture of water animals means water. Birds mean air. Green color and monkeys
mean forests. People mean humanity and Christmas.
This ceremony is very popular. A lot of people come. There are thousands of people. They all want to
see the tree.
