Modern Languages Why It Matters

'Anyone who thinks "English is enough" should read this book! It is a well-grounded, elegant and passionate appeal to halt our descent into the fruitless desert of monolingualism.'
David Bellos, Princeton University
 
'A powerful and timely explanation of the discipline of Modern Languages and why it is fundamentally important both to universities and society.'
Charles F. Burdett, Durham University
 
'Modern Languages is a clear and engaging reminder to monolingual first-language English speakers of their responsibility to respect, embrace and promote linguistic diversity.'
