This volume explores why Americans are among the least likely in
the world to speak another language and how this U.S. foreign
language deficit negatively impacts national and economic security,
business and career prospects. Stein-Smith exposes how individuals
are disadvantaged through their inability to effectively navigate
the global workplace and multicultural communities, how their
career options are limited by the foreign language deficit, and
even how their ability to enjoy travel abroad and cultural pursuits
is diminished. Through exploring the impact of the U.S. foreign
language deficit, the author speaks to the stakeholders and
partners in the campaign for foreign languages, offering guidance
on what can and should be done to address it. She examines the next
steps needed to develop specific career pathways that will meet the
current and future needs of government, business, and industry, and
empower foreign language learners through curriculum and career
preparation.
