Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local language. If these are not taught many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?

Nowadays

English

has gained popularity in schools which, to some extent has overpowered the usage of vernacular dialects. If

this

is not checked, local languages may go to the verge of extinction. In my opinion, learning

English

is vital in today's era, but at the same ,time we cannot ignore the importance of our mother tongue.

To begin

with, there can be a number of reasons for everyone to study

English

. The

first

reason could be, it is universally used as a means of communication in major working industries.

For instance

, a person with having knowledge of

English

can be eligible and could opt for a job anywhere across the globe.

Moreover

, a great amount of information is written and accessible in

English

. Knowing the jargon,

one

could get access to a vast amount of data. Despite the fact

English

is favoured by many as means of communication,

one

ought to try to protect the waning rate of native vocabulary, not only for its verbal usage but

also

to preserve its rich heritage. The local speech is a part of national treasure and identity.

Thus

, its' state cannot be ignored and should be under control.

For example

, in the past, many nations lost their identity and disappeared because they started speaking only in a foreign language.

This

potential threat could be prevented by effective policy from the authorities.

Firstly

, the medium of instruction in school should be in local accent and

English

can be treated as a subject.

Secondly

, a person who is linguistic should have higher priorities in the labour market. So, that more and more people can be motivated to learn their local language. To conclude, bearing in mind the above information and deliberating all facts, it can be deduced that

although

it is believed that

English

is necessary to succeed in all walks of life as it makes

one

more confident;

however

, the local languages

also

need to be given due respect. Equal efforts should be made by individuals to learn both languages whether it is an international

one

or the local

one

.
