hai everyone!
Recently i read an article discussing about how much we can apply what have we learn in language to the real world. Do you guys really think what we learn about a language especially the technical part such as grammar, sentence structure or linguistics thing can help us to face the real world? To be more specific, to get a job? Is it relevant to learn all that in every level of education? Do you think we learn all those technical stuffs just for the sake of the knowledge or is it we can somehow understand the world we are going to face after graduate? If you think that learning this part of language only for academic, how can we make it worth to the world we live now?
please give your opinion on this.thank you.

Hello there, Your argument on the relevancy of English in the real world interests me to throw my opinion here.I believe that every component of the language that we learn is useful for the sake of our livelihood.
Learning English for me is an expansion for the self-discovery and mind advancement. Believe or not, once we explore the nature of the language, we are actually expanding our horizon into the new set of advance thinking. Thus, English is like a key that enables you to embark all kind of knowledge, enhances your intellectuality into a level that can make everyone respect you. The language is a benchmark for the social and education status. If you are good in that language, you will absolutely have no problems in getting a secure job. Your proficiency is extremely needed by the society, not just for the sake of the nation progressiveness, but also for the sake of international competitiveness. So, I extremely believe that English is a relevance tool for the self-progressiveness, a vital device that makes this world keep on moving.
Thats all. Arios. (*_*)
