WHY ENGLISH IS IMPORTANTE FOR

COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENT

BYM.Mr.IRFAN ARSHAD

Why learn EnglishLearning to speak English well may be the best thing you can do to improve your life.That's right. Do you think it would be fun to have that other people can't get? Talk and write letters to interesting people that others can't communicate with? Impress people around you whenever you opened your mouth? Make big jumps in your career, leaving others miles behind?You can get all this if you speak English well.

Get access to knowledge

What are you interested in? Is it science? Software engineering? Computers engineering Business? Computer programming? Today's media — such as the Internet, television, and the press — give you almost unlimited access to knowledge about your favorite subjects. After all, we live in the information age, don't we?

There's only one problem. Most of this knowledge is in English.

English For Computer Science

In this forum we shall think about: The importance of English in the computer science

field; I. Effective communication in meetings and negotiations; II. presentation skills, making proposals and ways of

presenting technical information;

III. If you are Computer engineer, you have to write report that

other people can understand

IV. Improving conversations with clients;

V. leaving and responding to voice messages;

VI. opening and closing meetings, giving clear instructions,

cross-cultural communication;

VII. Try writing 100+ pages of documentation full of spelling and grammar errors and

and lots more

Purpose of English Language for Computer Science

English is very important because it is widely spoken all around the world.

For Computer Science students whose mother tongue is not English, mastering English is even more important, not only for their academic life but also for their prospective career. In order to master the Computer engineering knowledge and skills better, Computer engineering students should own the English language competence. Most of the Computer engineering graphs are also marked in English.

Presentation Skills for Computer Science:

This is not a computer science skill, but this is one of the most important skills that computer science students are missing. You must treat presentation as equally important, or more important than your program, design, and algorithms. And you must spend as much time learning presentation (from books, in classes, and in practice) as you spent on programming languages, and computer science subjects.

Moreover, most Computer Science professors in various universities are also conducting their lectures in English. Hence, Computer Science students should at least master the basic English ability to deal with the countless English lectures, tutorials, labs, projects and papers. Finally, they have to submit their important theses, still in English. When Computer Science students graduate from the college or university and become real Computer engineers, they will find that English appears even more crucial than it used to be.

The property of their work determines that being a Computer engineer needs to cooperate and communicate with different people from different part of the world. For non-native English speakers, unfortunately, most of the Computer engineers speak English as the first language or the working language.

English and Internet for Computer Science computers and the internet have had on the

use of the English language In spite of the growth of internet in various language. English is the mainstay of the Internet user. This is the language in which most of the information and Website are available. It is very difficult to translate each and every relevant webpage into the language of various countries. Generally speaking, English is the universal language on the Internet

The Fading Importance of English

Computer Programming is like English poetry

Computer programming has certain poetic features to it, Computer programming is a creative expression of unambiguous logical thought. Such expression is bound by the limits of the language’s syntax as much as English poetry is bound by the rhymingvocabulary of the written language.

HERE ARE SOME POINTS WHERE ENGLISH LANGUAGE USED IN COMPUTER SCIENCE:

Gain technical knowledge. English is the language of technology, especially high technology like computer science, software , and IT. If you're going to read about technology, you'll probably have to do it in English.

Use your computer more effectively. Most computer applications are in English, so you will understand them better — and become a better employee.

Computers Software Programs: Most software programming instruction are written in the English language. For those who are seeking to expand their computer knowledge, having the ability to read and understand the English language can be invaluable.

you need to be able to communicate effectively with your colleagues and you'll get lots of emails and phone calls by people trying to make sense of what you wrote.

English for Computer Science is designed to help international undergraduates and graduate students and professionals become more comfortable using English as a common language in the fields of Computer Science.
