Teachers and Education

Language education, a branch of applied linguistics, is the teaching and learning of a foreign or second language. Increasing globalization has created a large need for people in the workforce who can communicate in multiple languages. The uses of common languages are in areas such as trade, tourism, international relations, technology, media, and science. The demand for languages other than English has dramatically increased over the past decade to the extent that the current education system can now be seen as failing to provide a critical skill to the majority of this country's youth. Modern language skills are highly prized by employers. This if seen as a skill will help thousands of prospective students learn more about the opportunities available, to gain a competitive edge in a global economy.
