From April 2007, anyone wishing to come and live in uk for good, has to pass an English test otherwise they will not get their visa's.
Personally I think it's a great idea. It is a law that was long due. If you wish to live in any country it makes sense to learn the language of that land.
I also feel that some pathetic marriage that take place between people of two different countries will achieve better outcomes.
(Even Islamically we are taught to find marriage partners that are at the same wave length as us, but no...some people will only follow the religion of 'culture and tradition'. Which is to get their kid educated to the hightest level possible, then marry them off to a cousin back home that's never even heard of a school!)
Anyway back to the point, I was wondering if anyone thinks differently or what your personal opinion is on this new law that's going to come into force soon?
I'll probably get into trouble for saying I think it's a perfectly logical law. I mean, I wouldn't emigrate to Japan without attempting to learn Japanese, for instance.

The law I think is already included here in Finland, but even without the law you gotta learn Finnish to survive here. I guess it's the same in most countries.

It will probably be like the one's we do at school like victorian times, world war, world war2 etc.......
Bleh, Victorian history is boring but necessary. The world wars were tragic events, but have much more food for thought and are much more engaging to write about.

I really enjoyed learning about Victorian times!! It was a time when child labour ended in Britain and children had rights to education.......(otherwise you would of been a chimney sweep!....)
yh, my gran's comin to stay, khayrun Insha Allah, lolz maybe we can give nan some english lessons before she comes innit....
Hows the test d'you know what level it's on?
I hope it's not ridiculous like the 'British Test'. That wasn't about teaching people about British culture, that was just expecting people to know obscure facts about this country! Not that people should have to know more than the basics of British culture before they come here.
I also hope it does not expect people to know fluent English and have an English accent. People do need to know decent English to get an ordinary job in the UK, but expecting people to speak completely fluently is a bit unrealistic. I can quite easily understand plenty of people who do not know fluent English.

wassalaam
It's english at level 4.
If your gran gets into this country before April, she will be fine, she will only need to pass the test if she wants a British nationality.
