Today’s students are living in an international community: nations and peoples throughout the world now depend on each other not only for their economic survival and social stability, but for the success of their undertakings in most areas of human activity. In such a world, communication on the international plane is of crucial importance, and knowledge of languages an invaluable asset. The study of classical and international languages helps students to develop the skills they will need to communicate effectively with people from other countries and at the same time improve their skills in the English language.
The communication skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are more important than ever in the modern business world, in which the timely exchange of information is often the key to success. Classical and international language programs provide ideal opportunities for students to develop and refine these important skills. Moreover, learning more than one language develops the ability to think creatively and to solve problems effectively. Studying other languages will also give students new insights into their first language. In fact, it could be said that the only way to fully appreciate the particular nature and function of language is by studying and comparing several languages.
