The online skills training & certification provider ALISON is delighted to launch 'Using English Effectively'- the second installment of a compendium of tutorials on improving English language skills. ALISON is the first provider of its kind to offer free tutorials to learners to enhance their knowledge of English language skills and allows opportunity for free certification and flash-testing.
As English increases its dominance as the international language, the need for proficiency in speaking and writing English have become more and more pronounced. As business becomes more international and cross-cultural, individuals are recognizing the need for high levels of English communication skills.
According to Abdul Wahid Al-Homaid, a columnist in Arabic daily Al-Riyadh, 'a person can work anywhere in the world if he or she has a working knowledge of English'. Proficiency in English language skills he opines will ensure developing counties are 'not to be left behind in today's world of rapid technological development.'
Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, editor-in-chief of Asharq Al-Awsat has corroborated Al-Homaid's comments and argued strongly for increased educational focus on the English language. Employment opportunities, he maintains 'are plentiful in spite of high unemployment- the problem is a lack of the language needed in order to do the job.'
In light of these cases, ALISON's free online courses coincide with the need for language skills training resources. The course allows those familiar with the English language to improve their language skills within both a personal and professional context. The course offers a comprehensive examination of a range of writing styles and how to use them to communicat effectively.
