Patricia Ryan talked about languages lost and languages’ globalization, especially
English. She has been an English teacher for 30 years, so she has seen lots of
changes nowadays. One of the shocking result is there are 6000 languages in the
world, but there are 600 languages in 90 years. In fact, a language dies in
every 14 days. Thus, she explains what the reason of losing languages is.
Parents always focus on English since they want their children have the best
chance in their life. For instance, she gives an example from her daughter who
studies in England has the best grade in Science and Mathematics class.
She believes that when students come to learn
English from the world, they didn’t give enough credits for what they know
because these students know their own languages. Finally, she says that people
not only focus on English tests, but also “Mind your languages” and use it to
spread ideas in future.
