- A way-in to the mother-tongue.The students' awareness of their first language is enhanced by learning a second language.
- An entrance to another culture. Students can come to understand other groups in the world and to appreciate the music and art of other cultures.
- A form of religious observance. For many people a second language is part of their religion, whether Hebrew for the Jewish religion, Arabic for Muslims, or indeed English for Christians in some parts of the world.
- A means of communicating with those who speak another language. We all need to cope with people from other parts of the world, whether for business or pleasure.
