America---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed
world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country.
According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European
students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries,
studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require
learning a foreign language for graduation.
I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015.
Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is:
So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to
dominate as the official language of the world?
The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more
than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability
to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the
world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because
you could not communicate in the language.
The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we
live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another
language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of
people.
