A STEM focus may be important to qualify for that dream college and to apply for that dream job … but a facility with the language is equally important.

Language expertise is one of those faculties that cannot be assessed through, or dispensed with, an examination. Our education system, coupled with the deafening clamour of evangelical voices that wants everyone to be a coder or an engineer, has promoted three beliefs:

1. That STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) competence is the only meaningful point of differentiation
2. That success in an examination is proof of intelligence and competence
3. That every examination has a pattern that may be broken

Now, while a candidate who spends an inordinate amount of time developing pattern-recognition skills to excel in the STEM curriculum may end up manifesting the knowledge and acumen required to succeed, this is not necessarily true.

The truth of the matter is that no matter how clever you are – on the basis of your degrees and STEM accomplishments – only an ability to use language to communicate effectively can showcase:

• Your intellect
• Your quick-wittedness
• Your ideas
• Your commitment
• Your reasoning
• Your willingness to collaborate
• Your sense of confidence

Without language to differentiate you, a future employer or manager will never get a sense of who you are, how you think, what motivates you, and why you should be favoured over a galaxy of others whose degrees and levels of competence are equal to your own.

This is why a proficiency and confidence in the English language – the lingua franca of business globally – is critical to managerial and professional success. This proficiency is not developed overnight. Nor can it be assured through an examination. It takes time, commitment and practice.  And a guide that you can trust and that is worth the investment. And yet, it may well be the one investment that you cannot afford to ignore.
