为什么要学习语言视频

Language is considered a critical part of a liberal arts education. Part of 大峡谷州立大学's vision and strategic priorities are to "inspire and equip students to be active life-long learners and global citizens" and to require global learning of all undergraduate majors. This does not mean that we expect all students to become fluent, but instead to have exposure to a second language and culture, which in turn leads to practical language skills. 的 现代语言文学 Department's (MLL) language courses offer not just the chance to study a language, but to actively engage with another culture on its own terms. 多学习语言?
