Why To Learn Foreign Language(S) ?

With relaxation of international trade laws, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. European, Asian and American companies have started expanding in Latin and Asian countries to bring down the operations costs; while third-world countries have started reaching out to customers in developed companies for better sales and profits. Consequently, knowledge about one language isn’t enough. It definitely pays to know more than one foreign language.

Benefits Of Learning Multiple Languages
  • Better future prospects with multi-national companies
  • Additional compensation in government organizations
  • Enhances intellect
  • Helps building multitasking skills
  • Improves memory
  • Broadens knowledge base about different cultures
  • Wider scope of travelling across the globe
  • Easy to communicate with extended family living in foreign countries
Foreign Language Courses

Under the Gujarat National Law University programs and under the guidance of BCI each student is required to study one foreign language for first 3 semesters. In these semesters, the students will study their selected language for 120 hours. Each semester will require them to appear for language exams too to ensure their proficiency. At the end of 3 semesters, each student will have completed beginners level of proficiency according to the group (CEFR guidelines) — meaning, they can easily understand and use everyday expressions as well as can interact meaningfully, albeit slowly, in the language of their choice. This elementary knowledge will also help students through basic communication rituals. However, if students want to learn more than the offered course, they will need to opt for advanced courses offered by Hk School of Foreign Languages at GNLU language center on campus.
