After completing the interviews, we both started to look for literature that we could use that will help us back up our points.
Dorynei states that learning langauges is a series of diverse learning behaviours rather than a uniform process. Therefore motivation may affect different people as they may not want to pick up a langauge or want to succeed.
Oxford 1990 states that people who pick up another langauge will gain better techniques at memorising and visualising and with this will allow them to be able to develop through later life. Through previous data it is shown that it is easier for children to pick up new skills however it is never too late to learn something new.
There are many benefits such as:
- Gain confidence
- Improve your employment references- if companies are looking to expand over seas then you can communicate with either parties.
- Traveling- allows you to travel the world as you will not have any problems with translating especially if you learn a basic langauge such as French, Spanish or German.
