Abstract: | Multilingualism is today considered one of the key elements of a modern Europe, given that learning foreign languages enables people to enrich their lives, grasp new ideas and benefit from Europe's cultural diversity. In today’s world, knowing how to use a language in specific circumstances gives people a very strong bargaining power, especially in the world of work. In the 2007 book Languages for Specific Purposes. Searching for Common Solutions, Dita Gálová says “globalisation of the world economy requires professionals and specialists in various areas to communicate effectively in foreign languages. The success is conditional on their language skills and competences with respect to their professional areas”. In the global marketplace we now live in, languages have become crucial across all sectors. |
