Europe, A.D. 2005, The Guardian reported that surveys
have highlighted the economic opportunities being lost because of Spain's
English-language deficiencies and its failure to compete with other European
Union countries that are more proficient in English. Spain, January 2010, 5years later:
Aena Internal Graduates-Level Admission Test: 413 people made the test, 15 % of
them failed. 67% because they failed the english test. An undeniable fact Spain’s proficiency in English lags notably
behind many EU countries and Latin America.
Professionals and undergraduates in ES need to drastically improve their level
of English to secure the widest choice of employment opportunities. Each day
200 million Google searches are conducted and half are in the English language.
