While Americans are traditionally viewed as monolingual, other countries routinely include language study as an essential part of a general education. In a world that is increasingly interconnected and interrelated, the development of a globally educated populace is crucial. Second language learning is a vital part of such an education.
Second language study can lead to career positions such as teacher, travel consultant, translator and international entrepreneur. Languages also constitute an important second skill for many jobs in business, industry, government and human services, and may be a key to increasing potential for personal growth and advancement.
