Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. 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?
In school, learning
English
is usually perceived as more essential than learning local languages
. Endangered local languages
will have many impacts if we are not taught them. I believe that local languages
are as essential as English
. English
is a global language, and local languages
are cultures which must still exist.
Nowadays, English
is an international language,so everyone should improve their English
skills to communicate. It has been used in academic journals, electronic devices (phones, TVs, and earphones), medication tools, and so on. Moreover
, if we expand our English
, we will obtain a wide range of knowledge. For instance
, having adequate skills in English
provides an opportunity to get a scholarship. Several foreign governments offer scholarships, like AAS and Fullbright.
On the other hand
, we must be aware of the existence of local languages
, so we should preserve the languages
in the curriculum of school, such
as so that students can learn about cultures and local languages
from the subject or extracurricular of school. Furthermore
, the government should contribute to the socialisation of local languages
in public facilities. For example
, in Jogja Province, they use multilanguage (Indonesian, Javanese, and English
) to share information about schedules at the airport and the station train. This
raises the awareness of the community regarding the importance of preserving local languages
.
In conclusion, I believe not only English
languages
should be studied to improve our knowledge and get beneficial experience, but also
local languages
are one of the essential cultures that must be kept in the future.Submitted by muhammadluthfidzulfikar on
