The Background
Secondary school graduates can no longer be counted on to seamlessly transition into the workforce, often lacking skills to construct simple sentences, memos, reports. and proposals, as well as the requisite thinking skills required.

Just as science and technology posed a challenge to 19th- to mid-20th centuries academia, the threat of A.I.-infused academic systems challenges learning in the 21st Century. Indeed, the rush to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning has in many ways exacerbated the problem, as funding for English and 'foreign' languages have taken a hit as a result. Indeed, the same can be said for the rest of the ‘Liberal Arts’ that provided the mainstay of higher education for the last four hundred years.

The initial Practicums offered include:

• Essentials of Global English (CC23-1116) ($350/$280 USD)

About the Global Language Monitor Institute
The Global Language Monitor was founded in Silicon Valley in 2003 by Paul JJ Payack, who had previously founded yourDictionary.com with Dr. Robert Beard (then the world’s largest multi-lingual site with more than 300 languages represented). Payack’s founding premise was that new technologies were needed to understand the world of Big Data and “…to examine the totality of Global English with the tools now available to better understand the underlying trends that shape our words and, hence, our world. Our goal remains to detect the small changes in the language that often presage titanic shifts in the way humans communicate.

In 2014, Paul JJ Payack was cited as the first Shanghai, China International Creative City Think Tank Master (UNESCO).

The Global Language Monitor's impact on Global English scholarship can perhaps best be demonstrated by this European Proceedings analysis.
