Language is a source of communication. There are so many languages in this world and we cannot count it. English also a language and it is an international language. Nowadays we cannot live without English; because English is that much important in our life and it is an only language that connecting the world.

Every country has its own national language. In Sri Lanka also we have Sinhala language as our national language. But in our University systems they use the English medium.

 

They are using English as a medium for some reasons. Some of those are :-

1. English is an international language.

2. There are four major ethnic groups in Sri Lanka but the spoken language is different person to person, all of them are not speaking our National language. Their mother tongue is different. Some of them are speaking Tamil as a mother tongue, some of them using Malay as a mother tongue, most of them using the national language as a mother tongue. When it comes to university system we cannot approve all of the mother tongue. Because it is not impossible. If they use our national language in our university system other ethnic group will not continue their higher studies, because they cannot continue without fluent language. So our international language is approved in the universities.

 

3. As  professions we should know the International language because we want to move with professionals and sometimes with foreigners. So we should be very fluent in English language

Due to these reasons we have to be fluent in English to succeed in whatever we do and wherever we go. Besides these reasons there are many reasons as to why studying English is important. Learning English properly will be a deciding factor in acheiving your goals...
