The importance of the English language in globalization

In the Philippines, when people work in a call center or BPO company, the first thing that comes to mind is about them – they are good at English. For those who use ESL (English as a second language), you have a place in the outsourcing industry, especially when it comes to outsourcing customer service.

Online outsourcing is about moving business processes from companies in the West (USA or Europe) to outsourcing companies in Southeast Asia (eg the Philippines). To avoid language barriers and achieve clear communication, business people and customers must be able to speak English. This is one of the reasons why many companies from western countries decided to outsource their business functions in the Philippines. They knew that the Filipinos, in addition to being passionate about their work and very skilled, all speak fluent English. This is one of the reasons why many companies around the world continue to outsource in the Philippines. By 2020, according to a survey, the number of Filipinos employed in outsource companies will rise to 1.2 million.

Customer support in English has the largest population in the BPO industry in the Philippines. Customers from abroad who outsource customer service to their companies continue to multiply. They enjoy the benefits of outsourcing to the Philippines, such as cost reductions in manpower and operations and acquiring Filipinos who are not only skilled workers but also English skilled. On the part of the Filipino workers, especially those who are not college graduates but good and talented, they realized that being English speaking helped them a lot to have found an impressive and good career in BPO which offers higher salaries compared to other non-BPO companies. They already appreciate that being good at English can help them find better jobs in the outsourcing industry.

Based on Filipinos and other non-English speakers worldwide, English is the window of the world. Many opportunities come if you are good at English, both orally and in writing. It is officially recognized in 80 countries and is widely spoken in another 100 countries.

When it comes to outsourcing and e-commerce, English is very important. Many large companies have offices all over the world. To achieve clear communication, you must therefore use the English language to prevent it from being difficult to translate languages ​​other than English.

When it comes to science and technology, English is mainly used. Of course, you have already noticed that almost all media platforms use English if the subject is about science and technology. It is difficult to use non-English languages ​​to convey information and messages in these areas of knowledge. And it’s effectively safe to use English or put English subtitles if you cater to the whole world. For example, to achieve good communication between Swedish and Filipino businessmen, they must speak English.

There is no doubt that English is important in our globalized world.
