Introduction
Languages are the student's key to becoming a citizen of the
world. Students develop a deep satisfaction when they can
communicate with millions outside their own country and
linguistic background. By learning one or more foreign
languages, a student can qualify or enhance his or her
qualifications for many challenging careers:
* Teaching. Our nation needs outstanding foreign language
teachers and scholars in universities, colleges, secondary
schools and elementary schools.
* Business. A major combining business and a foreign
language can lead to careers with multinational
corporations, in international banking or accounting, hotel
management, import-export business or many other areas.
* Government Service. Important jobs in the Armed
Services, the Department of State, the Department of
Commerce and the International Communication Agency
require proficiency in foreign languages. Students should
consider supplementing language preparation with courses
in business management, economics and communication.
* Mission Work. The majority of the world does not speak
English. In order to communicate the Gospel of Jesus
Christ around the world, missionaries need to speak
foreign languages. Even if ACU does not offer the specific
language ofa given country, we often can help the
prospective missionary with a language that is widely
spoken in the area that he or she is targeting, e.g., French
in West Africa, German for Eastern Europe. Moreover, the
best way to raise one's general language learning aptitude
is to study a foreign language.71
