CURRENT SITUATION OF LANGUAGES: reflecting on today's class we can notice that english is today's style because everybody is looking forward to learn english so that we can have better job opportunities. But other languages like french has lost a little bit of importance in our culture because people only think about traveling to other contries that belong to the United States and we think that people from the States speak english. wrooong! there are other contries that are speaking english and they do not belong to the states.
PRESENT OF ENGLISH: english is gainning a lot of populariy because the people that is the field have had the experience to have a better job than the ones that do not know a word in english. Therefore everybody is interested in learning this language, specially in bilingual schools where almost all the subjects are taught in english and to be part of this schools you must be there since you are a kid.
THE FUTURE OF ENGLISH: taliking about the future it is necessary for me to ask myself some questions. Is english going to be so important in the future?, if everybody is learning english now what are we going to learn in 10 years? well let us see what will happen!

The new structure of the world language system is a complex one where, despite the fact that the number of existing languages is decreasing and other strong languages are gaining new "adepts", English is still by excellence the lingua franca, the language that is spoken even in countries with different native languages and, as you said, the language that opens doors to better job opportunities.
