Britain to require foreign language training in primary schools

The British government is creating a new testing program to encourage every
child from the age of seven to learn one of 26 foreign languages by the end of
the decade. Although children in most other European countries receive
language instruction beginning in primary school, Britain is the only country
mandating language instruction for students ages 11 though 14. The
