2. The importance of English in Mozambique

English is an international language and it is more important language in the world in general and
in Mozambique in particular. English is an important language for Mozambique because it helps
us in communication. For example, Mozambique is surrounded with many English spoken
countries like: Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland. In order to
communicate it is necessary to have abilities on it. Another reason is that Mozambique is the
SADC Member’s country, and the majority of countries speak English language.

In economy or business area, we have many imported products from different countries. These
products have instructions of user in English. Some medicines we get at hospital are written in
English, that is why it is necessary to learn English as well.

In technology area, we use computer, cellphone, e-mail, fax, whatsapp, facebook, and others. In
order to use technology it is necessary to have knowledge about English language because all
systems are written in English. As we can see, there are many reasons to use English language.

In Mozambique we have received many tourists from different countries. If we have abilities in
English language, it makes our communication easier with foreign people who come in
Mozambique.
