Science and technology have developed very rapidly. The only access to the acceleration of the acquisition and transfer of knowledge and technology (from the West) is the mastery of language, in this case English. Therefore, the mastery of the English language in the academic world will determine the quality of human resources and academic life which contribute ultimately to mastering science and technology itself.
