With more than 2000 universities and colleges and more than 400 billion dollars spent every year on research, the US alone offers an incredible array of opportunities to those who are able to function in an English only environment. There are many universities around the world that have recognized the need for English and that are now teaching entire courses in English. Knowing English also opens doors for study abroad – there are over 750,000 foreign students in the US (according to an USA Today article), and over 430,000 in the UK (according to the UK Council of International Student Affairs).
