[Ted talk] Don’t insist on English by Patricia Ryan
Ted summary
Patricia talking about language loss and the globalization
of English. She talking about her experience of teaching in Abu Dhaby. A
language dies every 14 days. At the same time English is the undisputed global
language. She was recruited by Britist council along with about 25 other
teachers to teach English in Kuwait and they is a first teacher that non-muslim
teach there. The reason of government
ask them to teach English because the government want to modernize the
country and empower the citizens through education. Why the people would focus
on English, this because they want give their children the best chance in life.
And to do that they need a western education such as getting education at
western university, so they have to follow the test of English. Another
language can think that thought then by
cooperating we can achieve and learn so much more. People who no have a light
whether it’s physical or metaphorical cannot pass the exam test, because the
tester never know what they know. Mind you language, used it ti spread the
ideas and celebrate diversity.
