Hummingbird Mission Statement
In this 21st century, English
language is learned and spoken all over the world. And it is becoming the
global English language (GEL). Many countries are already implementing such
plans from their elementary education to the higher and professional level of
education. English language has become the lingua franca. This trend is
predicted to continue for more than 20 years. Students are not required to come
to English speaking countries to study the language anymore. They can study the
language in their own country and start speaking. The globalization of business
world and the Internet have changed the whole concept and the environment.
English language has become the part of their second language by necessity.
In the past, studying English has been a foreign language category. The foreign language is used occasionally when needed for business and some personal use. But it is never been in the part of daily usage. It was always limited to some portion of their population. But the new order is the majority of young workers in their society need to use and speak English in their work. It is the recent globalization trends driving this change. Products are made in all over the world where their labors and skills are advantageous. The Advent and proliferation of Internet is helping this thrust for anyone to learn and use the language. Language learning is becoming more important subject than ever before in the human history. Some countries are already seeing this fact and preparing their future workforce.
The writing and comprehension skill can be learned from conventional methods developed in the past and combination of modern technology such as the use of computer, multimedia but there is another big issue that has to be addressed now. That is the sounds, pronunciation of the speaking English. It is true that for now standard American sounds is becoming the de facto pronunciation standard. This is driven by distribution of software including movies, music, videos, and animations, advertisement and online news. Currently, English language is spoken in many countries but their sounds are not quite the same. We need the same pronunciation for everyone in the world to communicate with a good comprehension level
The standardization of English language pronunciation is needed. When the language was classified as a foreign language, it was acceptable to use however they can pronounce. But in the Global English Language situation, this is not desirable, not acceptable. Every English speaking country has own version of standard pronunciation and subset dialect sounds. So, we need the Global English pronunciation standard. Each country can study the pronunciation system and resulted in the same sounds. Another word, everyone speaking English in the world should be able to communicate without pronunciation barriers. We need a system that can provide a clear learning method and produce the same result for everyone. Hummingbird pronunciation learning system is the perfect fit for this task. It has been tested in the actual market for over 20 years and succeeded to produce the desired result.
Does English speaking country have some edge in this trends? Yes, in the beginning. That seems to be an initial observation. The report, -------- indicate that it will lose the advantage later. Yes, communication can be done using English language but the work involves people, place and their culture. Without understanding their people, the workflow is not very smooth and efficient. Letfs say American company do business with Chinese company. American company has a manager of the product but if he cannot speak Chinese then he has to hire some worker under him to interface with Chinese counterparts. But we are always in price competition in the worldwide scale and two persons team is already very expensive to be very competitive in the world marketplace. As the result, this company cannot survive well in the competition. Therefore we need an American manager with Chinese language capabilities. Likewise, this trend is contagious all over the world. We are already competing worldwide. Look at the fact that who makes most of television, computer, software, games, camera, cell phones and cars. And remember which country started the trends initially. English language will become the same fate. Once the world population gets hold of it, English language does not belong to any particular country any more. And we do need the standard Global English sounds.
We need a learning system that can be used by the world population and produce the same result. Conventional method of learning pronunciation is not going to work well. Currently, English is spoken with many local tone and sounds of their native sounds and it is getting very difficult to communicate smoothly. It is often use as a comical scene for fun but this is a very serious matter. We need a standard method of learning English pronunciation that will service the world..
Hummingbird is developed for this purpose. This method has been granted a US patent and used 8 mouth and 8 tongue positions and the movement of mouth that creates all English sounds. It is adjusted to the Global English quality. That means the resulting sounds are understood worldwide. This can be delivered in DVD with classroom and Internet streaming format. Anyone in the world can study with this method and attain the Global English sounds quality.
Having this method in any country is an advantage for their future workforce. Having this high level of sound system in your school is a good investment for your school. This method has been delivered in USA and Japan for more than 20 years. The tests are also conducted for Hispanic, Chinese and Korean students and the results are excellent. English sounds are most difficult for Japanese students due to their lack of sounds in their own language. Other countries have more similar phonemes (Sounds) in their native languages and so their difficulties vary depends on their phonetic system.
This is a good investment for your country and organization. This business has the potential to become a multi billion dollars business in your country. The scale is big. It can grow 10 times in next 10 years. The needs are there and clearly visible. If anyone sees this opportunity, please contact Hummingbird in Los Angeles. (info@humbird.com)
