Why (continue to) study a Foreign Language?
-
"Students proficient in a second language are given vast opportunities to interact with the world, not only due to study-abroad programs or the internet, but because they should be able to communicate with cultural intelligence, curiosity, and open minds. Such advantages translate into better job opportunities regardless of a student's area of specialization, a healthier global perspective, and most important, enriching all aspects of their lives by sharing and learning a second language."
