Newspaper Article
Education Letter: We need to be multilingual
1999
Overview
Alan Bright's article, \"Should we learn foreign languages\" (EDUCATION, 9 December), raises important issues regarding the motivation of non-English speakers to learn the language spoken by - as he puts it - the remaining superpower in the world (and also sung by the most influential pop stars of the world). His critical view exposes a number of commonly held assumptions (we're no good at languages etc) as simply not getting to the issue in question: \"foreigners\" are highly motivated to learn English because it opens many doors to communication - not just with speakers of English but also as a common mode of communicating. We can't, after all, learn everybody's language.
