Description
World Languages introduces you to a fascinating world of human languages and the benefits of learning additional languages. This innovative subject prepares you for the challenges of language learning and explores how languages and their learning connect communities and their cultures. You will investigate why we all sound differently and how the languages we speak shape our world view. The subject outlines potential difficulties in learning languages other than your own and reviews the extraordinary advantages of acquiring an additional language. You will also have a unique opportunity to sample learning languages other than your own. Designed to enhance International Relations and Global Studies students’ awareness of language learning, use, and how languages express cultures, this subject can also be taken as an elective to complement any degree undertaken at Bond University.
