Question

Is studying english language is beneficial to a student? Why or why not?

Answer 1

What is an English language?

The English language has established itself as one of the most widely spoken languages on Earth, with over 300 million native speakers and a far higher number of second language speakers.

As a result, it is no surprise that every year, thousands of prospective students choose to study the English language with all of its quirks, faults, and contradictions.

The primary purpose of an English language degree is to understand and explore the way in which English has evolved and developed over time to become useable in a huge variety of formal and informal situations and by a huge variety of people.

Native English speakers may expect English language studies to be fairly natural for them, but the task of studying the language in a degree course is not something to be taken lightly, and it will certainly be a test of your ability as a student.

However, a good English language degree from a respected university can provide big opportunities both in postgraduate academia and in the ever more competitive jobs market.
