The Course Syllabus
The key to opening the future for a learner is to learn world languages in the 21st century (Jacobs, 2013). Language learning is not limited by only communicating with native speakers of that language but also broadening their cultural understanding and appreciation of target culture as well as their own culture. Students cannot be not only proficient in the language but remains accomplished in the three modes of communication: Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational; surrounded by Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, Communities (Clementi & Terrill, 2013). Therefore, learners also sharpen their learning power, gain career opportunities because a learner "develops insight into their own language and culture," as well as "taking a more invigorating and open view of the world" (21st Century Skills Map, 2011). Learning the language allows the student exposure of the real world and various situations one may encounter.
