1/1

was looking for information in the

internet about the real importance ofone language in one society likeCostarrican and I was really impact toknow that one language dies every 14days! It is impressive that no longerago, we use to need the languagemainly for communicating, butnowadays there is more than that. Itinvolves economical interests,educational level and interaction withthe rest of the civilization outside ours.

I

e have to be realistic when it

comes to a new language in oneculture or country, for e ample in Costaica, knowing a new language like"nglish is important, but this became abig problem when is almost mandatoryto know it and pronounce it perfectly, inorder to have new opportunities, tohave open doors. #s "nglish teacher,that is our main ob$ective, that is our

$ob, but let%s be honest, the main issueis that not everybody has access tostudy it, because of economic problemsmost of the time, so they cannot get areally good education& even though, thecostarrican educational system '(.".).*has been improving a lot in this area

when is referring to the publiceducation.

W

t is a huge responsibility over ourshoulders, because depending on

how good we are as teachers, thatgood will be the level of the students+"nglish. o, if we do not give them agood level, it means that they will fairlyhave some $ob+s opportunities becausethey will not be well prepared, they willnot be enough for the levels re-uired on

the market.I wanted tobeob$ective,and this is

true, when a language begins to be are-uirement is when it becomes abarrier. It is not fair that I have to

master the "nglish in order to be part ofthe social system. here are many test

I

for people to take, to prove their "nglish

levels, but if they fail it, they are not wellaccepted in many companies.I agree about the importance to knownew languages, currently "nglishmainly, but I not agree that onelanguage dominate the world, becausethat means that many languages willdie and when a language dies, a culturedies too.

#ll thecultures areimportant,

there are notgood or badones, $ustdifferent, and

we need torespect each

of them. hanks to the diversity ofcultures and languages is that we havethat richness in our world.If that happened already with otherlanguage, what will assure us that ours

will not disappear. /e are the onlyresponsible, to transmit in the best waypossible a new language and all what itcomes with it, but at the same time, asCostarricans, we must encourage ourstudents to carry out our culture, ouridentity and language wherever we go,and never be ashamed of it, because

we thing that some language is wellspread, it does not mean that ours isless, in any sense, we must be proud ofit!"nglish language means a lot of things0nowledge, culture, history and somethings that we can%t see and touch, asteachers we must be able to see that,far beyond grammar and synta only.
