Should students have to learn a foreign language?
Many cash-strapped schools across the United States are cutting out foreign language classes. Some people say students should spend more time mastering reading and writing in English, instead of other languages. Others argue that knowing a language other than English is now more important than ever. They say that having foreign-language skills may give kids an advantage when they look for jobs in the future. What do you think?
I think it is not necessary to learn a foreign language unless they want to. It might get them a better job but it should not be forced.
ReplyDeleteNO! It should not be required to learn a language
ReplyDeleteI think they should be required learn a foreign language because you might need to communicate with that certain lagnuage at some point. It would also be helpful to know another language than English.
ReplyDeleteI dont think students should have to learn a foreign language.First if they are not going to use it whats the use?
ReplyDeleteI think schools should have foreign language classes because learning more than one language is always better. Also people will look up to you and probably think your high class.
ReplyDeleteI Think that student take class lear a new language because it will make theme learn about language
ReplyDeleteI think that students should take class's to learn a new language because it will make them lern more about a language.If I could take a luanugage class in sixth grade I would.
ReplyDeleteNo students dont have to learn a specific language but they can if they wanted to. They would have to learn a different language if they moved to like China, Russia, and or Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI think they don't have to. If they want they can. They can't be forced.
ReplyDeleteLearning your language might be hard, but learning some other language might be extremely challenging. When I first came to the U.S., I did'nt know how to speak english. But know I can speak fluently.
ReplyDeleteI do think that people should save the foreign-language because it is cool if any one can speak that. Also one time people spoke that and it would be fun to learn another language. So yes I do think that they should keep the foreign-language classes.
ReplyDeleteThey do not have to but i think it would be great for a life skill and it would help alot of people understand other languages, but in my opinion it's their choice.
ReplyDeleteI think that they should keep the "Foreign Language" classes because some students that go to these other states wont have a type of language to communicate with other people in that state. If someone came from a different country and they didnt have the foreign language classes to help them out, then they will be confused of what people say to them. They might think that Gray is Green because in their country they know how to say it in a different way other than any other Language!
ReplyDeleteI think they should keep the foreign language classes because it is a great advantage and it is cool to know how to speak a second language. English is not the most important language because you could be offered to do a international job which would probably require you to know the language of that country.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should be taught different languages because they will be able to communicate with others. Knowing another language will also help with life skills.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that kids should be forced to learn a foreign language. I think they should get to choose to learn it, or just not learn it at all.
ReplyDeleteYes because if you go to that foreign country you will know how to talk and understand those people.
ReplyDeleteI think that people should practice other languages than English... Other wise, people wouldn't be able to communicate with other family memebers... Wouldn't we think the same about the other countries trying to abandon our language?
ReplyDeleteI think that the students should learn if they want to; because I dont think that it is required to learn every single a foreign language
ReplyDeleteno:because what if people like there language.
ReplyDeleteNo, because in the new york times the family in russa said its HARD. Unless you're forced to do pig latin!
ReplyDeleteI think yes because would if you have somebody ask you ask you a question in there language and you dont understand them. I think kids should be reqiured to learn a foregein language
ReplyDeleteno, i dont think that it should be required because lurning a langudge should be fun and our disition, insted of being forced ")
