Abstract

The constant use of Language is a major means of human interactions which is core to business and economic life as no business can be transacted effectively without the instrument of language. It stands out as one of the most valuable gifts of God that differentiates human beings from non humans. Our thoughts, feelings, ideas and experiences which are necessary for business transactions are organized through languages. Language, whether spoken or written, helps to facilitate business and economic development within and across a country?s boarder. This paper discussed the motivation and significant of study, the contribution to knowledge and as well discuss language as a means of communication that identifies a group and helps them to interact. Moyosore (2005) asserts that: ?language is an efficient medium of promoting understanding and harmonious living?. Without ?understanding? and ?harmonious living?, no business thrives in a nation. ??Language Education??, from the perspective of teaching and learning of English language in any nation, is discussed as a global tool of business and economic realization for sustainable development. According to Ojo ( 2000) ? without Education, development will not occur?
