Language policy in the U.S.

Almost six years after 9/11, the trends and policies of foreign languages in the U.S. are in the forefront now more than ever.

What does research show about the benefits of language learning?

In this age of accountability in education, policymakers and administrators, as well as parents,

are increasingly demanding to know what research studies show regarding the benefits of language learning. 

Does my child need four years of foreign language study?

Every college/university is a little bit different, so you will find some require four years of foreign language and others only require two. State schools, for instance, often have a different foreign language requirement for each major — some majors require three years of foreign language while others require only two, whereas most selective liberal arts schools require three years of foreign language.
