Don't insist on English!

This is an interesting VIDEO about teaching English and the importance of this foreign language. It shows a different perspective; a different way to see the power of English. 

Watch it and let me know what you think about it: 

• Do you agree with Patricia's point of view? Why? Why not?
• Is the teaching of English based on commercial purposes?
• Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages? 
• Does our world need a lingua franca? Or are we giving too much importance to one single language? 
• Is there any word in the speech that you don't know? Do you know the meaning of all the words? 
• Is there anything you want to comment? 

For teachers, intermediate and advanced students and for any English lover.
