English language is really a Panacea. English language is so vitally important because it is spoken in so many parts of the world. Businesses, educational domains, academic domains, and even realms that deal with security all use English as a language of communication. In a practical sense, one could survive without English, but with the globalized nature of the world and commerce, knowledge of English is quite essential. In terms of the appreciation of language and literature, knowledge of English is extremely important in understanding some of the best writings offered. This is not to say that other languages do not possess the same amount of introspection and talent. Yet, the knowledge of English could help to open many professional and literary doors. Language is the only way by which we can express our emotions, thoughts, desires ideas, feelings etc. English is that language which is spoken by many people. English is an International language. Whenever we want to know what is happening on the other side of the world we get the news in English only. It is very important to know the English language. The Early Modern English period witnessed the first time that English was spoken around the world, but still it was not nearly as widely distributed as it is today. Today English is widely taught around the world as a second language. Still, British English is still widely taught as the prestige form in classrooms around the world.
