Student Samples
Academic Reasons
“I enjoy learning it”
“I’m good at it”
“I find it easy”
“I like learning a
language with a
different writing
system.”
Personal Interest &
Relationships
“I can speak with my
grandparents.”
“I can go on the
exchange trips.”
Career Reasons
“It might be useful
when I get a job”
“Great skill to have
in life”
“Can help in a future
career path”
Why do students learn a second
language?
A language is not just words
but a window to another
culture
•Second language study will
help you relate better to
people from other languages
and cultures around the
world.
•Learning a second language
is FUN and occupationally
rewarding.
More critical thinkers
More creative problem solvers
More understanding of other individuals, cultures, ways of seeing the
world, faiths
More compassionate
More understanding of your first language
Monolingualism will not serve the next
generation well. It implies inflexibility
and that others should always be
prepared.
Only knowing English makes you
dependent on the linguistic
competence and goodwill of others.

Through learning LANGUAGE we learn
about culture.
Through learning about CULTURE we
learn respect for others.
Through learning RESPECT for others
we can hope for PEACE.
