3) Cognitive training The virtue of learning a classical language was held to be that it trained the brain. The logical
and reasoning powers of the mind were enhanced through a second language. This has received support from psychological
work that shows that children who speak two languages are more flexible at problem solving, and are better able to
distinguish form meaning.
4) General educational values Just as sport held to train children how to work in a team and to promote leadership
qualities, so L2 teaching can inculcate moral values.L2 learning provides pupils understanding of themselves and their own
culture…….
In brief there are various languages in the world that we talk, listen, and think which are shaped by our culture,
experiences, professions, personality, mores and attitudes. The chance of us meeting someone else who talks the exact same
language gives us opportunity to understand and be understood. Hundreds years ago The Prophet Muhammad mentioned”A
man who speaks a language is a man, a man who speaks two languages is worth two men, a man who speaks three is worth
all mankind” shows unchanging importance of teaching and learning foreign language.
