Why Study Languages? cover

Studying any subject at degree level is an investment in the future that involves significant cost. Now more than ever, students and their parents need to weigh up the potential benefits of university courses. That’s where the Why Study series comes in. This series of books, aimed at students, parents and teachers, explains in practical terms the range and scope of an academic subject at university level and where it can lead in terms of careers or further study. Each book sets out to enthuse the reader about its subject and answer the crucial questions that a college prospectus does not.

“Why Study Languages? is as rich in information as it is in experience. It will answer your questions about the nature of languages and communication, dispel many negative myths about language learning, and provide evidence that studying languages is not only useful but also rewarding, exhilarating and, often, life-changing”; Loredana Polezzi, Alfonse M. D’Amato Chair in Italian American and Italian Studies, Stony Brook University. “A valuable insight into the myriad of ways in which the study of languages can enrich our experience of the world, be that personal or professional”; Catriona Kyle, Assistant Headteacher, Channing School, London
