    • 6 Ways Teachers Are Making A Difference By Teaching English As a Second Language

    6 Ways Teachers Are Making A Difference By Teaching English As a Second Language

    • Categories Blog
    • Date November 22, 2021
    English Language

    The English language is one of the most widely spoken and is widely regarded as the most influential language in the world. Whether you want to study English to further your education, job, or personal interests, there are several advantages to enrolling in our ESL course. 

    1) Improved Cognitive Skills

    One of the most effective methods to keep your brain engaged and challenged is to learn a second language. According to studies, learning another language causes changes in electrical activity, as well as structure and size, that do not occur while learning any other sort of work or ability. Learning a second language provides major cognitive advantages at any age, aiding in brain activity maintenance and even lowering the chance of mental illness.

    2) Sharpened Communication Skills

    Learning English as a second language provides you with the vocabulary necessary to express yourself in writing. Learning many languages will help you speak more effectively in any language because you will have a better understanding of how language works and how to utilize it to promote ideas.  

    3) Broadening of Opportunities

    Learning a second language (especially English, which is widely used and understood) brings up a world of new opportunities. Bilingual employees are in great demand in practically every industry. Many organizations are prioritizing multilingual staff, whether due to commercial agreements or the need for bilingual customer support. It is applicable in most industries and little more in the marketing, construction, retail, hospitality, education, and government. If you want to work in one of these areas or advance in one of these industries, learning how to speak a second language can open up additional chances for you. There are more occupations available now than ever before that demand the ability to communicate in a second language. You must be able to speak a second language in order to apply for these roles.

    4) Culturally More Clued-In

    Globalization is not just providing more employment; it is also increasing the cultural diversity of work forces. This implies that workers are now interacting regularly with internal teams from all around the world. This means that cultural awareness is becoming increasingly crucial for employees. Learning a second language (specially a language that is widely spoken and understood, makes communication easy with many people) will help you have a better understanding of various cultures. This is a critical skill that may help you become a more effective communicator and employee. Being culturally aware will help you engage with your coworkers and advance initiatives. As workplaces become increasingly diverse, it is critical to be able to collaborate with people from other cultures.

    5) Enhanced Social and Employment Possibilities

    ESL lessons can open the door to new chances in life, whether you want to go to school or work in an English-speaking country. Knowing English may help you flourish in a variety of disciplines, especially those where English is a widely utilized medium of communication, such as science, commerce, and engineering. We realize how vital it is to be able to speak freely with those around you.

    6) More Earning Potential

    The advantages of taking an ESL course are obvious. By enhancing your English abilities, you receive better access to school, more earning potential, a more fulfilling social life, and even improved healthcare outcomes. We are dedicated to improving the lives of our students, which is why we are pleased to provide ESL classes to them.

    Columbia College provides hands-on learning and fascinating curriculum to students who desire to achieve success in life. Our courses are intended to build the skills you need to excel in your chosen industry, from an English language learning program to careers in education, health, and human services. Begin your educational adventure with Columbia College today!

    We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including Chiniki, Bearpaw, and Wesley First Nations. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Mohkinstsis is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, language, ceremonies, and culture of the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit who call this territory home. As an organization, Columbia College acknowledges the use of this land to educate adults for a better future for all.
