The Role of Language Learning in Academic Education: An Overview.
Liddicoat, Anthony J.; Crozet, Chantal; Jansen, Louise M.; Schmidt, Gabriele
Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v20 n2 p19-32 1997
College second language programs offer more to students than knowledge of the language. Language study can challenge students intellectually and creatively and contribute to their academic and social development, even when language study is begun at this level. Value is found in the substance, process, and outcomes of language study. (Author/MSE)
