We are now living in a world where survival is inconceivable without the exchange of information; hence, the term 'Information Age'. People in the different corners of the globe have come closer to one another through the exchange of information. This exchange has been made possible through use of a number of media, the primary instrument of which is language.

Worldwide, English has proved to be of paramount importance for many reasons. Among other things, it is the official language in many countries. It is a language for official correspondence in many UN offices, NGOS, and intercontinental airlines. It is also a means of business communication across the globe. It is therefore difficult to spell success in life without its effective use!

In educational contexts, here and elsewhere, it is used as a medium of instruction. That is why classroom instructions, lecture series educational media, etc are conducted through English. In addition, a plethora of textbooks, course books, references, etc. are all written in English.

In Unity University College , as is the case of higher learning institutions all over the country, English is used as a medium of instruction, and official means of correspondence in and out of the institution. As part of Unity University College , the department of Foreign Languages is doing its level best to scale up learners' language ability through the different courses it offers. These courses are primarily geared to helping students succeed in other academic subjects.
