EQUAL RIGHTS. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
As a tutor I have a responsibility and a duty of care to all learners who participate in the course to ensure that I am able to promote inclusion, equality and diversity for all learner and those attending in the future. To be able to explain this I firstly need to explain what is meant by each area.
To promote inclusion means that I as a tutor when planning and delivering sessions I need to include everyone in the learning scheme to ensure that no matter what each learner’s ability is they are fully included and can participate. Inclusion is seen as a universal human right. The aim of inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability, medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and getting rid of discrimination and intolerance (removal of barriers). It affects all aspects of public life. Inclusion today is more widely thought of as a practice of ensuring that people in organisations, feel they belong, are engaged, and connected through their work to the goals and objectives of the department. Equality and Diversity promotes that everyone has a human right be equal and have the opportunity to achieve their potential, free from prejudice and discrimination.
Under the Equal Opportunities Act we have to ensure equality and diversity to all learners and staff. This means that the environment where the teaching is taking place promotes equality and diversity. Diversity is the acceptance or promotion of multiple ethnic cultures, applied to the demographic make-up of the local area.
I do not discriminate against anyone because of their: age; gender; race, colour, ethnic, national, cultural or social origin; disability; religion and belief, or non-belief; marital status, family circumstances or caring responsibilities; sexual orientation and class. All disabled people from human rights and equality prospective have the right to be included in all courses.

Going Global to English Language\
English as a World Language
The English language is the most popular language in the world. This is because of many reasons which include the that fact that it is the international language which is used between states. In many countries located in Asia children begin to learn English from elementary school. They will usually study for more than three hours a week studying English (Advice for you, 2010).
For some time people thought that artificial languages could be used however a total of 650 languages have been tried and also failed. Esperanto was the most successful language from amongst these (Wikipedia, 2011). There was a though at one point that the language could would become global however this was not the case. On the other hand English has gained popularity and millions of people across the world speak it because of many reasons. These include listening to music, literature, gaining social status, improve job possibility. It is also used on internationally for many reasons, this is includes pilots and air traffic control, international policing, court cases etc. People also use English when on holiday as a second language even when they go to countries that have a different first language. Entertainment is also an important area because four or five songs from the top ten of many countries are sung is English. There is also an international university which can be accessed through satellite will also broadcast in English. Education is one of the main platforms used to teach the English language and countries have changed their education methods to facilitate the learning of English. People can also learn English through other means such as watching movies from Hollywood.
