Shweta Sikroria, an expert expressed her thoughts- Pay Attention, English at Work!

Whether you work for a private or public sector, English language usage is prevalent everywhere. Hence, not left with much choice as in not knowing the English language. It is an added advantage if one knows the language. Usage of English does not mean that we disrespect Hindi or our mother tongue; on the contrary, we add another word to our conversation.

Today, in the era of globalization, English is one language that connects us with the world. It becomes essential, primarily when the companies deal with vendors or clients internationally. It becomes a common thread. It is applicable across all sectors, whether it is the Banking sector, Education, or any other. An ability to speak the English language is essential to get employment; expert Shweta Sikroria expressed her thoughts and had a detailed conversation with Prittle Prattle News reporter.

The demand is high, and therefore, in India, it is taught from the very childhood even though it may not be the first language. Also, schools and parents are involved in various activities to enhance their kids’ communication from a very early age. Colleges are taking initiatives to make the students polish their language. Multiple organizations conduct training programs to bring their employees up to an optimum level in terms of the word to eases the effort to interact with their vendors or clients.

Japanese, Koreans, and other ex-pats who work in India learn the language’s ropes to interact with the Indians counterpart. Their families are learning so that it becomes convenient to carry out day-to-day tasks. According to the Cambridge English research, “English is the language of international business, so increasingly it is just as important for businesses in native and non-native English speaking countries.” she conveyed in an interview with Prittle Prattle News.

However, a significant part of the population in our country still has to struggle with the language. It is evident, especially during discussions of the new hires or colleagues in the offices struggle to speak the word with the clients or vendors or when employees withdraw themselves to form a normal conversation if it requires using the English language. The various problems caused by not understanding the language could lead to losing out on job opportunities, leading to an increase in time in doing a particular job, leading to miscommunications at times, lowering efficiency at work. Unfortunately, it has also become the language of few as a symbol of social status. Hence, the question arises whether a language can take that status or people are responsible for it, and therefore is it worth learning the language?

The answer is simple. It entirely depends on the requirement of the individual. If the individual is looking for a job or wants to impress his colleagues or people around, it is solely his prerogative.

“However, whatever be the reason or the motive, learning a new language would not hurt.” Shweta Sikroria proclaimed and concluded.
