PROPOSAL
ResponderEliminarThis proposal is intended to outline reasons for some people not learning languages and it also gives ideas for promoting language learning and overcoming these difficulties.
As the Language Society may be aware, the number of people learning a foreign language has dramatically decreased in the last few years. Following a survey among young adults, aged 20 to 30, the main reason why they do not study a foreign language was the fact that they have not got the time to do it. Another argument mentioned was the lack of motivation in classes, some of them said that they were boring so they prefered to do something else.
A single solution for this issue does not seem enough. In consequence, it is recommended to start by promoting language learning at early stages, the Language Society and the Bureau of Education should work together to implement a complete programme for Young people in elementary schools to choose and study a language different from their mother tongue. It also would be an advantage to train language teachers constantly so they are up-to-date and their lessons will be more educational and entertaining. Alternatively, there should be on-line courses that could allow people to study at a flexible Schedule. Finally, a nation wide campaing ought to be created to let people know the benefits of speaking a foreign language, just to mention some: the possibility to get a promotion in their job, the chance to travel and know different cultures and the opportunity to be part of this global business and communication system.
If these recommendations are implemented, the current situation will definitely improve and more people will be learning a foreign language.
