Language is not only at the centre of the intellectual universe but also human life. It is one of the most important ways 

of expressing our negative or positive feelings for   people, it is vital to achieving many of our goals and our careers, it is a 

source of artistic satisfaction of simple pleasure. People use language for many various purposes like planning our lives and 

remembering our past, exchange experiences thoughts, ideas, and emotions, and we identify ourselves with people who 

speak the same language. Some people in the community are able to do this in more than one language. Knowing another 

language can often boost your career, getting better job, a chance of getting education, the ability to take a fuller  part in the 

life of one’s own country  or the opportunity to emigrate to another, the best way to broaden one’s literary and cultural 

horizons ,the expression of one’s political rights or religious views. It affects people’s careers and possible futures, their 

lives and every identity. In a world where probably more people speak two languages than speak one, language learning and 

language teaching are vital to the everyday lives of millions. 

The reasons why the second language is being thought depend on the reasons for the educational purposes, which vary 

from one country to another and from one period to another. One main purpose of language teaching is to help people to 

think better---brain-training and logical thinking. On the other hand boost the student’s increased self-awareness and 

maturity and so on. There is a variety of evidence that supports the goal of brain-training for example, the people who 

speak several languages usually think more relevant than monolinguals. It is not for the teacher, the methodologist, or 

any other outsider to dictate whether a language should be thought for communication, for brain-training or whatever but for 

the society or the individual student decide.  

Let us turn to international goals, where language teaching has goals that go outside the society itself. There are many 

types of international goals:
