Which Foreign Languages Should Students Learn?
Met, Myriam
Educational Leadership, v7 n1 p54-55 Sep 1989
The economic and political implications of a linguistically incompetent America are far-reaching and frightening.

Self-interest is also a worthy incentive for choosing and studying foreign languages. Includes 19 references. (MLH)
