Did you know that there are about seven thousand languages in
the world? In view of this, many people believe that all school pupils
should be made to learn at least one foreign language. Others,
however, argue that there are possible disadvantages to this notion.
There are many reasons why forcing students to learn a
language is a good idea. To start with, it could improve their future
job prospects as more and more businesses these days work
closely with clients in other countries. In addition, being able to
communicate with people in their own language is extremely
rewarding while travelling. Not only does it avoid confusion, but
also shows respect and helps in understanding other cultures.
Lastly, studies have shown that learning languages can improve
pupils’ critical skills, and therefore help them in other subjects such
as Maths.
On the other hand, some believe that there are some
disadvantages to making learning a foreign language compulsory.
To start with, it is argued that many pupils should improve their
reading and writing skills in their own language first instead of
spending time learning another language that they may never use.
Not all jobs, after all, require knowledge of a foreign language. In
addition, some pupils may be put off learning a language for life if
they do not enjoy learning the one taught at school.
Taking everything into consideration, I believe that while there
are some disadvantages to being made to learn a language, the
advantages for both individuals and society can not be ignored.
After all, as the Italian film director, Federico Fellini, said, “A different
language is a different vision of life".
