English Language Day was first established by the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in 2010 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. The choice of April 23rd as English Language Day was inspired by the fact that this is the day when William Shakespeare, one of the most famous English-language writers, was born and died. Shakespeare is widely regarded as one of the greatest playwrights in history, and his works continue to be studied and celebrated around the world. The Day of the English Language and its cultural significance is celebrated all around the world. English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and is the official language of many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. It is also the language of international business, science, and technology. Since its establishment, English Language Day has been celebrated by people and organizations around the world, including schools, universities, libraries, and cultural institutions. The day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of language learning and to showcase the richness and diversity of the English language and its cultural heritage. On English Language Day, people around the world celebrate the beauty and diversity of the English language through various activities, including reading and reciting poetry, attending language and literature events, and participating in language-focused competitions and quizzes. The day also provides an opportunity to reflect on the history and evolution of the English language, including its many influences from other languages and cultures. It is a time to appreciate the power of language to connect people and convey ideas, and to recognize the importance of language education and access to language resources for all. English Language Day is celebrated in Ukraine as well, especially among English language learners and educators. In recent years, the celebration of English Language Day has become more popular in Ukraine, with various events and activities organized by schools, universities, and cultural institutions.
