<p>The Impact of Multilingualism on Global Education and Language Learning</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We live in a multilingual world. English serves as the lingua franca for education,<br>
trade and employment, and is an essential skill for anyone wanting to succeed<br>
professionally or academically in the 21st century. English offers enormous<br>
opportunities, and language policy rightly focuses on how to give more equitable<br>
access to high levels of English language proficiency so that these opportunities<br>
can be inclusive rather than exclusive, open to all socio-economic groups. But<br>
English is not enough.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Properly managed language policy can help to ensure that English can be taught<br>
effectively and incorporated into society without having a negative effect on the first<br>
language, culture and local identity of the learners of English.</p>
