ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD

 The importance of learning English. 

The activity I am proposing today is related to the importance of learning English and to make students realise this fact so that their motivation to learn English increases.
Before watching the presentation: " English around the world ", the teacher brainstorms some ideas from the students by asking questions such us:

1. How many people speak English around the world ?
2. What is the difference between a second language and a foreign language?
3. Do you know the countries where English is an official language ?
4. Give 4 reasons why English is considered to be an international language... 

Then, students watch the presentation and check whether their answers were correct.

Finally, they write an essay titled the importance of learning English.          ( 150-200 words ).
They can also use the information in the following link: English speaking countries
