Language acquisition in education involves learning a new language as well as understanding the associated culture and customs. In the 21st century, language acquisition is important for globalization as people from different countries interact more. Technology tools like microphones, social media, online translators, movies in other languages, and podcasts make learning a new language easier. Podcasts allow students to replay lessons until they understand the material or slow down the audio for comprehension. As the world becomes less English-focused, incorporating language acquisition into education is vital for preparing students to work in an increasingly global environment where languages like Spanish and Mandarin are commonly used.
