Let us celebrate diversity mind your language use it to spread great ideas
Patricia Ryan has been living and teaching in the Gulf over that 30 years. She has seen a lots of change in that time. The biggest change is how teaching English has morphed from being a beneficial practice to becoming a massive international business that it is today,becouse the best university found in the U.K. and the U.S. .Also she talked about language loss and the globalization of English and Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages? For instance: what if Einstein had to pass the TOEFL? She told a good stories about two English scientist ,her daughter and the young man who won the hero award.
Enjoy watching it here :)

I agree with her overall, especially when she told about her daughter's story, because we really don't know what will happen if we lost a language. Also we can take benefits such as ideas and inventions from other languages to improve our societies as she said let us celebrate diversity mind your language use it to spread great ideas.
