Reasons and ways

The answer to both of these questions is yes. In our fast-paced moving world, the need for global communication keeps rising. More and more job opportunities for English speaking people, native or not, keep appearing. Someone who has mastered only their native language will have trouble finding a job abroad, therefore, studying English increases the size of someone's job market drastically. International companies now demand a good command of the English language to hire and since they are becoming multilingual a common ground is usually found within the use of English. Many adults who already work in such companies strive to learn English, either on their own for personal growth or by their company's demand, English classes are held within or after their working hours. This results in the need for more English teachers, thus broadening this job market section too.

Global status

Non-native English speaking countries have increased demand for teachers since English is becoming more and more necessary for children's future careers. Being monolingual in most cases will not be enough and the employees will prefer someone who is at least bilingual. Learning English from a young age as a second language will not only provide a boost in someone's resume leading to a higher paying job later but it will also allow the student to experience a different culture through the lessons. If we compare the need for English from 10 years ago to now we will see a major increase in the job offerings as well as in the use of English in everyday life. Needless to say, when speaking about children we have to look forward to the next 10 years and judging from our past experience the demand will only grow. Therefore English as a second language is becoming more popular all around the world.
