"What happens when language learning is the goal, not language teaching? We know what happened in the corporate world to industries who thought they, and not the customer, would always be in control...when the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is in sight."
- Jack Welch, CEO General Electric
Seven reasons why it is good to learn another language and study abroad:
- develop independence and resourcefulness,
- develop an informed understanding of cultures and people,
- cultivate a global perspective and sense of responsibility as a citizen of the world,
- learn or become proficient in other languages,
- requirement for international business majors,
- recommended for international relations majors,
- and it looks great on a résumé.
