“The predominance of the English language on almost every level of international communication is well established and rather a constructive factor than a negative phenomenon....the English language has become the international communication solution and this will not be reversed.””  

The Sunday Times  

                                                                                           “English is a tool, just like a piece of technology. Much of the world’s economy is tied up in English-speaking countries and for that reason, English is like a cell phone provider offering the best plan.”                   John Hayden, president, Versitation

“It’s clear that globalization is making English especially important not just in universities, but in areas such as computing, diplomacy, medicine, shipping, and entertainment. No language is currently being learned by more people — there may soon be 2 billion actively doing so — and the desire to learn it reflects a desire to be plugged into a kind of “‘world brain’.”
