Learning to speak English as a foreign language has become an essential part of a 21st century education. Over 2 billion people are learning English around the world, and they will use it as both a professional tool and to connect with other people around the world.
In this century, global awareness is also a requirement, and we believe you can’t understand the world if you don’t experience it.
