Globalization and the English Skills Gab
We found this article interesting although it was clear to us that globalization creates a necessity to speak English. Nevertheless, the facts included in this article were very interesting. It made us realize how English can influence one’s whole career. Therefore, we also talked about how following a study program in English could influence our own lives. Especially the fact that it actually does not matter where you come from when it comes to finding a job in an international environment made it even more clear to us what learning English could mean for us.


English is India’s passport to economic success
We all agreed that this article is a very interesting one since the problem was new to us. A lot of people have been writing about India as a booming economy and it is widely known that British call centers have been outsourced to India because of the English speaking workforce. However, in order to become a significant player in the world order of business the general level of English (as a second language in India) needs some serious improvement. Once again, this article shows what an impact globalization has on the world.


Writing in Academic Style
Personally, I did not find this article interesting. That is because I do not feel that I learned from this article. Of course it would be better for someone’s career in an international environment to be able to write with academic style. I agree that a certain level of style influences the impression that other people have of you but I also think that the style should not be taken more into account than the context of what is being said.
