SUMMARY:English Language Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the English language at the UN\nEnglish Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April\, the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the most famous playwright\, who wrote in English\, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English. \nToday\, every one in four people in the world uses English. English is being used more and more as a way for two speakers with different first languages to communicate with each other. \nAt the United Nations\, English is one of the two working languages\, along with French. \nThe Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the Department of Global Communications\, establishing language days for each of the Organization’s six official languages. The purpose of the UN’s language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity\, as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization. \nUnder the initiative\, UN duty stations around the world celebrate six separate days\, each dedicated to one of the Organization’s six official languages. \n\nMultilingualism and the UN\nAn essential factor in harmonious communication among peoples\, multilingualism is of particular importance to the United Nations. By promoting tolerance\, multilingualism ensures effective and increased participation of all in the Organization’s work\, as well as greater effectiveness\, better outcomes and more involvement. \nThe balance among the six official languages has been an ongoing concern of the Secretary-General. Numerous activities have been undertaken\, from 1946 to the present\, to promote the use of the official languages to ensure that the United Nations\, its goals and actions are understood by the widest possible public. \nIn its resolution 54/64 of 6 December 1999\, the General Assembly invited the appointment of a senior Secretariat official to serve as coordinator of questions relating to multilingualism. \n\n\nThe English Language Programme\n\nThe English Language Programme (ELP) offers regular core English courses (levels one through eight)\, which are designed to improve general English language proficiency\, as well as communication courses and special courses to meet both the work-related needs and cultural interests of members of the United Nations community. \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
