foreign language a foreign language is a language not commonly spoken in the country of the speaker. however, there must be a defined distinction between foreign language and second language. it is also a language not spoken in the native country of the person referred to, i.e., a german speaker living in the philippines can say that filipino is a foreign language to them, or a japanese speaker living in china can say that chinese is a foreign language to them. these two characterisations do not exhaust the possible definitions, however, and the label is occasionally applied in ways that are variously misleading or factually inaccurate. some children learn more than one language from birth or from a very young age then they are bilingual or multilingual. these children can be said to have two, three or more mother tongues: neither language is foreign to that child, even if one …

is considered a foreign language (although irish pupils do study a third european language). on average in europe, at the start of foreign language teaching, learners have lessons for three to four hours a week. compulsory lessons in a foreign language normally start at the end of primary school or the start of secondary school. in luxembourg, norway and malta, however, the first foreign language is studied at age six, and in flanders at age 10.[3] in wales, all children are taught welsh from the first year of primary school. the welsh language is also compulsory up to the age of 16, although a formal gcse qualification is optional. in some countries, learners have lessons taken entirely in a foreign language: for example, more than half of european countries with a minority/regional language community use partial immersion to teach both the minority and the state language. this method is also …

y 1 percent of the adults within the us population consider themselves proficient in speaking a foreign language. this is in stark contrast to many other countries, where the percentage is much higher. even though there are many benefits that come with learning a foreign language, schools across the united states continue to cut foreign language from their budgets in 2004, a report by the michel thomas language centre in the united kingdom suggested that speaking a second language could increase an average worker's salary by £3000 (€3 300) a year, or £145 000 (€159 000) in a lifetime. further results showed that nine out of 10 british companies thought their businesses could benefit from better language skills. studies show that a bilingual or multilingual person can earn much more than a computer programmer or engineer because they can use their abilities in foreign language to obtain success in a …

more than one way to look at a problem and that there is more than one solution. although significant differences between the definitions of second language and foreign language may be hard to find as the two terms are often taken as synonyms, research has been carried out to shed light on the differentiating traits of the two. the distinction between acronyms tesl (teaching of english as a second language) and tefl (teaching of english as a foreign language) shows the attention different researchers have paid to the concepts of foreign language and second language. richards and schmidt (2002: 472) provide the following information about second language: "in a broad sense, any language learned after one has learnt one's native language [is called second language]. however, when contrasted with foreign language, the term refers more narrowly to a language that plays a major role in a particular country or region …

ote that foreign languages are typically taught as school subjects for the purpose of communicating with foreigners or for reading printed materials in the language (richards and schmidt, 2002: 206). crystal (2003) notes that first language is distinguishable from second language (a language other than one's mother-tongue used for a special purpose, e.g. for education, government) distinguishable in turn from foreign language (where no such special status is implied). he also notes that the distinction between the latter two is not universally recognised (especially not in the usa). stern (1983) believes that there is today consensus that a necessary distinction is to be made between a non-native language learnt and used within one country to which the term second language has been applied and a non-native language learnt and used with reference to a speech community outside national or territorial boundaries to which the term foreign language is commonly given. …
