- 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.
- The promotion of intercultural understanding and peace. For some the highest goals of language teaching are to foster negotiation rather than war or changes in the society outside the classroom. (see for example Gomes de Matos, 2002)
