Ramakrushna Mahavidyalaya, Darapur, started in the year 2000. As the college aimed at the overall development of students, communication plays a key role in all aspects of life. A language is a tool by which a person can communicate their feelings to another person. For the purpose of communication, a language is necessary. The position which a language occupies in other countries is largely determined by the cultural, political, and economic position of its implanters and their quality of civilization and advancements in science and technology.
It is being spoken by half of the population of the world at present. Now it has gained the status of an international language. It has become the lingua franca of the people of the world. It is no longer the exclusive possession of the English race. Now it is the language of international communication, but English is practically a language of administration, science, literature, and diplomacy. English possesses a rich vocabulary, variety of expression, and rich literature and culture. William Shakespeare’s dramas are compendiums of wisdom and knowledge. English helps us to understand and appreciate master minds not only of English but also of other languages like Zola, Brlzrc, Tolstoy, Cervantes, Borges, Pasternak, Goethe, Maxim Gorky, Dante, Aristotle, Socrates, and others.
English language has universal use and appeal as a language of science and technology. Developing and poor countries cannot afford to conduct independent research in all the important fields of science such as agriculture, industry, health, and communications. These countries have a miserable low stage and standard of finance and scientists. They borrow largely from English, because it is a source in all these fields. The rich English-speaking nations conduct costly research and poor nations easily borrow from them. Moreover, fast-developing science and technology in the field of space, computers, etc., continue to introduce new words which only English can absorb. In the medium of international communication, direct use of English by most countries of the world has made it an effective medium of global intercommunication. It enables us to make ourselves understandable to the world community and to establish direct association with the changes and developments taking place in the world around us at a rapid pace without any dependence on translation apparatus.
English language is a living stream of world knowledge. Hence, we cannot cut ourselves off from this body of world knowledge. By giving up the study of English, we run the risk of knocking the bottom off our higher education, for which we mainly draw upon its resources and hospitality. If we lose contact with it, our standard of scholarship is sure to suffer badly.
