资源 & 帮助
The value of learning a second language
The study of a second language is important for a number of reasons:
- The ability to communicate with people from another culture is valuable.
- Learning other languages vastly increases one’s own understanding of his or her native language and of language in general. Our culture is flooded with examples of people trying to persuade or mislead by taking advantage of the weak understanding people have of their own language.
- The study of languages provides insight into other cultures and cultural differences, which is very valuable in political and economic terms on a global scale.
- 在一个更直接的框架内, languages require structured learning that will improve study skills. In the longer term and in a more profound sense, it can result in a deeper understanding of vocabulary and meaning. It can lead to rigorous studies of topics such as those of texts in the original language throughout many disciplines, and thus form a foundation and a touchstone for the liberal arts as a whole.
- 雇主 value candidates who have knowledge of foreign languages; language study will give our graduates an advantage in the international job pool.
