Ojibwe, Spanish)
Language is more than a mode of communication. It
is the primary means of understanding a culture, a people, a way of
life. Studying a second language gives us a perspective on our own
language and culture, and prepares us to be knowledgeable and
competent citizens of the world. In addition, those who undertake the
study of languages experience the satisfaction and pleasure of
learning what language is and how it works.
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.
