AFEEL: Bridging the gap, what are the benefits?
In a world so inclined towards the concept of a global village where distance has been replaced by technological advancements in doing business, the English language has taken centre-stage as the lingua franca of the modern world. Indeed, English has transcended borders to connect people from different cultural backgrounds. At AFEEL, the English language is taught largely to students coming from a diverse cultural and linguistic background, largely a francophone community. The question many people ask is what are the benefits of learning English in a francophone country like Congo?
The advantages are many and far outweigh the disadvantages that new learners might encounter in learning the language. Spoken in no less than 100 countries the world over, English has become the language of choice in fields ranging from business and education to diplomacy and technology. Such widespread usage not only facilitates global interactions but also serves as a door-opener to countless opportunities for those using it.
In a French-speaking environment like Congo, learning and mastering English is much more than just a skill, it a need. From accessing prestigious universities to thriving in multinational companies, proficiency in English opens up doors a world of endless possibilities. By breaking language barriers, individuals can network internationally, gain cultural insights and make a global impact. In today’s interconnected world, embracing English is essential for personal and professional growth, enabling individuals to seize opportunities and shape their futures on a global scale.
In cognisance of the global appeal and paramount importance of English today, AFEEL International School has embraced a transformative vision to be the best English school in Lubumbashi. Such a strategic outlook is reflective of our commitment to preparing students for success in the envisioned global village where proficiency in English has become a necessity. By creating an immersive English language environment, we seek to equip and empower our students with the linguistic and cultural competencies needed to thrive in the new world order.
