TitleAmerica's Relationship with the World: How Can Languages Help
Body
From: FLTEACH

Dr. Ruth J. Simmons, President of Brown University,
great-great-granddaughter of slaves, 12th child of share-croppers,
raised in Grapeland, Texas, a student of both Spanish and French, has
written an important message on the reasons for studying a foreign
language:

"America's Relationship with the World: How Can Languages Help," The
French Review 77, no. 4 (March 2004): 682-87.

I found this a compelling argument, and though it convinces from
practical reasons, it steps away from the purely
pragmatic-materialistic spin some of us (myself included) have been
giving to our argument.
