ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION

SECTION II Total Time-2 hours, 15 minutes

Question 1

Suggested reading and writing time-55 minutes.

It is suggested that you spend 15 minutes reading the question, analyzing and evaluating the sources,

and 40 minutes writing your response.

Note: You may begin writing your response before the reading period is over.

(This question counts for one-third of the total essay section score.)

Over the past several decades, the English language has become increasingly globalized, and it is now seen by many as

the dominant language in international finance, science, and politics. Concurrent with the worldwide spread of English is

the decline of foreign language learning in English-speaking countries, where monolingualism—the use of a single

language—remains the norm.

Carefully read the following six sources, including the introductory information for each source. Then synthesize

information from at least three of the sources and incorporate it into a coherent, well-developed essay that argues a clear

position on whether monolingual English speakers are at a disadvantage today.

Your argument should be the focus of your essay. Use the sources to develop your argument and explain the reasoning

for it. Avoid merely summarizing the sources. Indicate clearly which sources you are drawing from, whether through

direct quotation, paraphrase, or summary. You may cite the sources as Source A, Source B, etc., or by using the

descriptions in parentheses.

Berman, Russell A. “Foreign Language for Foreign

Policy?” Inside Higher Ed. Inside Higher Ed,

23 Nov. 2010. Web. 8 May 2013.

The following is excerpted from an article on a Web site devoted to higher education.

These are troubled times for language programs in the United States, which have been battered by irresponsible

cutbacks at all levels. Despite the chatter about globalization and multilateralism that has dominated public discourse

in recent years, leaders in government and policy circles continue to live in a bubble of their own making, imagining

that we can be global while refusing to learn the languages or learn about the cultures of the rest of the world. So it

was surely encouraging that Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and a fixture of the

foreign policy establishment, agreed to deliver the keynote address at the American Council on the Teaching of

Foreign Languages Annual Convention in Boston on November 19.

Haass is a distinguished author, Oberlin- and Oxford-educated, and an influential voice in American debates. The

good news is that in his talk, “Language as a Gateway to Global Communities,” Haass expressed strong support for

increased foreign language learning opportunities. He recognized the important work that language instructors

undertake as well as the crucial connection between language and culture: language learning is not just technical

mastery of grammar but rather, in his words, a “gateway” to a thorough understanding of other societies. . . .

Haass claims that in an era of tight budgets, we need convincing arguments to rally support for languages. Of course

that’s true, but—and this is the bad news—despite his support for language as a gateway to other cultures, he

countenances only a narrowly instrumental defense for foreign language learning, limited to two rationales: national

security and global economy. At the risk of schematizing his account too severely, this means: more Arabic for

national security and more Mandarin, Hindi, and, en passant, Korean for the economy. It appears that in his view the

only compelling arguments for language-learning involve equipping individual Americans to be better vehicles of

national interest as defined by Washington. In fact, at a revealing moment in the talk, Haass boiled his own position

down to a neat choice: Fallujah or Firenze. We need more Arabic to do better in Fallujah, i.e., so we could have been

more effective in the Iraq War (or could be in the next one?), and we need less Italian because Italy (to his mind) is a

place that is only about culture.

In this argument, Italian—like other European languages—is a luxury. There was no mention of French as a global

language, with its crucial presence in Africa and North America. Haass even seems to regard Spanish as just one

more European language, except perhaps that it might be useful to manage instability in Mexico. Such arguments

that reduce language learning to foreign policy objectives get too simple too quickly. And they run the risk of

destroying the same foreign language learning agenda they claim to defend. Language learning in Haass’s view

ultimately becomes just a boot camp for our students to be better soldiers, more efficient in carrying out the projects

of the foreign policy establishment. That program stands in stark contrast to a vision of language learning as part of

an education of citizens who can think for themselves.

Haass’s account deserves attention: he is influential and thoughtful, and he is by no means alone in reducing the

rationale for foreign language learning solely to national foreign policy needs. . . .Yet even on his own instrumental

terms, Haass seemed to get it wrong. If language learning were primarily about plugging into large economies more

successfully, then we should be offering more Japanese and German (still two very big economies after all), but they

barely showed up on his map.

The much more important issue involves getting beyond instrumental thinking altogether, at least in the educational

sphere. Second language acquisition is a key component of education because it builds student ability in language as

such. Students who do well in a second language do better in their first language. With the core language skills—

abilities to speak and to listen, to read and to write—come higher-order capacities: to interpret and understand, to

recognize cultural difference, and, yes, to appreciate traditions, including one’s own. Language learning is not just

an instrumental skill, any more than one’s writing ability is merely about learning to type on a keyboard. On the

contrary, through language we become better thinkers, and that’s what education is about, at least outside

Washington.

Thomas, David. “Why Do the English Need to Speak a

Foreign Language When Foreigners All Speak

English?” MailOnline [UK]. Associated

Newspapers Ltd, 23 Jan. 2012. Web. 8 May 2013.

The following is excerpted from an online article in a British newspaper.

Department for Education figures show that fewer and fewer of us are learning a foreign language, while more and

more foreigners are becoming multi-lingual. This, say distraught commentators, will condemn us pathetic Little

Englanders to a life of dismal isolation while our educated, sophisticated, Euro-competitors chat away to foreign

customers and steal all our business as a result.

In fact, I think those pupils who don’t learn other languages are making an entirely sensible decision. Learning

foreign languages is a pleasant form of intellectual self-improvement: a genteel indulgence like learning to

embroider or play the violin. A bit of French or Spanish comes in handy on holiday if you’re the sort of person who

likes to reassure the natives that you’re more sophisticated than the rest of the tourist herd. But there’s absolutely no

need to learn any one particular language unless you’ve got a specific professional use for it.

Consider the maths. There are roughly 6,900 living languages in the world. Europe alone has 234 languages spoken

on a daily basis. So even if I was fluent in all the languages I’ve ever even begun to tackle, I’d only be able to speak

to a minority of my fellow-Europeans in their mother tongues. And that’s before I’d so much as set foot in the

Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The planet’s most common first language is Mandarin Chinese, which has around 850 million speakers. Clearly,

anyone seeking to do business in the massive Chinese market would do well to brush up on their Mandarin, although

they might need a bit of help with those hundreds of millions of Chinese whose preferred dialect is Cantonese.

The only problem is that Mandarin is not spoken by anyone who is not Chinese, so it’s not much use in that equally

significant 21st century powerhouse, India. Nor does learning one of the many languages used on the sub-Continent

help one communicate with Arab or Turkish or Swahili-speakers.

There is, however, one language that does perform the magic trick of uniting the entire globe. If you ever go,

as I have done, to one of the horrendous international junkets which film studios hold to promote their latest

blockbusters, you’ll encounter a single extraordinary language that, say, the Brazilian, Swedish, Japanese and

Italian reporters use both to chat with one another and question the American stars.

This is the language of science, commerce, global politics, aviation, popular music and, above all, the internet. It’s

the language that 85 per cent of all Europeans learn as their second language; the language that has become the

default tongue of the EU; the language that President Sarkozy of France uses with Chancellor Merkel of Germany

when plotting how to stitch up the British.

This magical language is English. It unites the whole world in the way no other language can. It’s arguably the major

reason why our little island has such a disproportionately massive influence on global culture: from Shakespeare to

Harry Potter, from James Bond to the Beatles.

All those foreigners who are so admirably learning another language are learning the one we already know. So our

school pupils don’t need to learn any foreign tongues. They might, of course, do well to become much, much better

at speaking, writing, spelling and generally using English correctly. But that’s another argument altogether.

Erard, Michael. "Are We Really Monolingual?"

New York Times. New York Times, 14 Jan. 2012.

Web. 8 May 2013.

The widespread assumption is that few Americans speak more than one language, compared with citizens of other

nations — and that we have little interest in learning to speak another. But is this true?

Since 1980, the United States Census Bureau has asked: “Does this person speak a language other than English at

home? What is this language? How well does this person speak English?” The bureau reports that as of 2009, about

20 percent of Americans speak a language other than English at home. This figure is often taken to indicate the

number of bilingual speakers in the United States.

But a moment’s reflection reveals that the bureau’s question about what you speak at home is not equivalent to

asking whether you speak more than one language. I have some proficiency in Spanish and was fluent in Mandarin

20 years ago. But when the American Community Survey (an ongoing survey from the Census Bureau) arrived in my

mailbox last month, posing that question, I had to answer no, because we speak only English in my home.

I know I’m not alone. There are countless Americans who speak languages other than English outside their homes:

not just those of us who have learned other languages in school or through living abroad, but also employers who

have learned enough Spanish to speak to their employees; workers in hospitals, clinics, courts and retail stores who

have picked up parts of another language to make their jobs easier; soldiers back from Iraq or Afghanistan with some

competency in Arabic, Pashto or Dari; third-generation kids studying their heritage language in informal schools on

weekends; spouses and partners picking up the language of a loved one’s family; enthusiasts learning languages with

computer software like Rosetta Stone. None of the above are identified as bilingual by the Census Bureau’s question.

Every census in the United States since 1890 (except for one, in 1950) has asked about language characteristics, and

its question has always seemed to assume that English is the only language relevant for the aspects of life that take

place outside the home. This assumption, though outdated, is somewhat understandable. After all, the bureau’s

primary goal in asking this question is not to paint a full and complete portrait of the language proficiencies of

Americans but rather to track immigrants’ integration into mainstream American society and to ascertain what

services they need, and in what languages. (In October, for instance, the Census Bureau released a list of jurisdictions

with large numbers of voters who need voting instructions translated in a language other than English.)

Nonetheless, to better map American language abilities, the census should ask the same question that the European

Commission asked in its survey in 2006: Can you have a conversation in a language besides your mother tongue?

(The answer, incidentally, dented Europe’s reputation as highly multilingual: only 56 percent of the respondents,

who tended to be younger and more educated, said they could.) Until the census question is refined, claims about

American monolingualism will almost certainly be overstated.

Oaks, Ursula. “Foreign-Language Learning: What

the United States Is Missing Out On.”

Blog.NAFSA.org. NAFSA: Association of

International Educators, 20 April 2010.

Web. 8 May 2013.

The following is excerpted from a Weblog maintained by NAFSA, a leading professional association based in the

United States and dedicated to international education.

It seemed a notably strange coincidence that the day after the Chronicle of Higher Education’s fascinating article

about foreign-language acquisition and its remarkable contributions to the human mind and to society, Inside Higher Ed reported that George Washington University’s arts and sciences faculty had voted by an “overwhelming” margin

not only to remove its foreign languages and cultures course requirement, but also to set up the new requirements in

such a way that introductory foreign language courses can no longer count toward fulfilling any degree requirement

in the college. At the same time, GW’s curricular reform is apparently “designed to promote student learning in

areas such as global perspectives and oral communications.”

One wonders how “global perspectives” can happen without foreign language. But Catherine Porter (a former

president of the Modern Language Association), writing in the Chronicle, puts it rather more bluntly. The lack of

foreign-language learning in our society, she states, is “a devastating waste of potential.” Students who learn

languages at an early age “consistently display enhanced cognitive abilities relative to their monolingual peers.” This

isn’t about being able to impress their parents’ friends by piping up in Chinese at the dinner table—the research is

showing that these kids can think better. Porter writes: “Demands that the language-learning process makes on the

brain . . . make the brain more flexible and incite it to discover new patterns—and thus to create and maintain more

circuits.”

But there’s so much more. Porter points out, as many others have, that in diplomatic, military, professional and

commercial contexts, being monolingual is a significant handicap. In short, making the United States a more

multilingual society would carry with it untold benefits: we would be more effective in global affairs, more

comfortable in multicultural environments, and more nimble-minded and productive in daily life.

One of Porter’s most interesting observations, to me, was about how multilingualism enhances “brain fitness.” My

own journey in languages is something for which I cannot claim any real foresight or deliberate intention, but by the

age of 16, I spoke English, Hungarian, and French fluently. I’ve managed, through travel and personal and family

connections, to maintain all three. One thing I know for sure is that when I get on the phone with my mother and talk

to her in Hungarian for 20 minutes, or if I have to type out an email to a friend in Paris, afterwards I feel like I’ve

had a mental jog on the treadmill: strangely energized, brain-stretched, more ready for any challenge, whether it’s

cooking a new dish or drafting an op-ed. And the connective cultural tissue created by deep immersion in another

language cannot be overstated. When I went to Hungary during grad school to research my thesis, I figured: no

problem, it’s my native tongue. Yes, but I first learned it when I was a toddler, and never since then. The amount of

preparation I had to do to be sure I didn’t miss nuance or cultural cues and didn’t draw conclusions based on

erroneous translation, was significant, but well worth it. Time and again, I’ve realized how language can transform

our interactions with one another. Porter’s article is a wake-up call that neglecting foreign-language learning is

hurting our country in more ways than we realize.

Cohen, Paul. “The Rise and Fall of the American

Linguistic Empire.” Dissent 59.4 (2012):

20-21. Web. 10 Sept. 2013.

It would … be a big mistake to overestimate the reach of English. Though it is widely assumed that the planet is

becoming more linguistically homogeneous, hard evidence suggests otherwise. Most of the approximately six

thousand languages in use today are indeed spoken by relatively small communities, nearly half by populations of

less than ten thousand. Although a great many of these idioms are in danger of dying, many new languages and

dialects are coming into existence as well. More broadly, there are a number of major world languages other than

English, used by large portions of the planet’s inhabitants, in the context of dynamic social, cultural, and economic

activities. Fifteen idioms are spoken by at least one hundred million people—including Spanish, Hindi, Arabic,

Japanese, Portuguese, and French. At around one billion, there are more than twice as many speakers of Mandarin

Chinese as of English. Chinese is almost as equally present on the Internet as English. India, home to the world’s

largest film industry, produces movies in a staggering number of languages: in 2010 alone, 1,274 films were

produced in a total of twenty-three languages—of these, 215 were shot in Hindi, 202 in Tamil, 181 in Telugu, 143 in

Kannada, 116 in Marathi, 110 in Bengali, and 105 in Malayalam (and 117 films were dubbed from one regional

language to another). Only seven were produced in English. While the Moroccan government joined the broader

trend in English-language higher education when it opened the anglophone Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane in the

1990s, it is also currently breaking ground for a French-language engineering school in partnership with France’s

elite École des Mines. Once outside Tokyo, try navigating Japan with only English. In the central Asian republics,

Russian will get you a lot further than English, just as French will in most of West Africa. Good luck, by the way, to

any well-meaning monolingual American doctor who heads off to treat villagers in Mali, Angola, or Chad.

Though you wouldn’t guess it from current trends in higher education, the United States is itself home to a

multilingual society—and is becoming more so with each passing year. Consider that the number of native Spanish-

speakers in the United States has doubled since 1990, and is spoken at home today by 37 million people. There is a

vast and rapidly growing domestic Spanish-language market: the U.S.-based Spanish-language broadcaster Univision

is today the fifth-largest television network by audience in the country. Savvy executives doing business in Miami or

California don’t need to be told the value of hiring Spanish-speakers. The day when candidates for national office

will need to speak Spanish may not be very far off.

Are We Really Monolingual?Gray Matter

By MICHAEL ERARD JAN. 14, 2012

AMERICANS are often told that in today’s globalized world, we are at acompetitive disadvantage because of our lazy monolingualism. “For too long,Americans have relied on other countries to speak our language,” Secretary ofEducation Arne Duncan said at the Foreign Language Summit in 2010. “But wewon’t be able to do that in the increasingly complex and interconnected world.”

The widespread assumption is that few Americans speak more than onelanguage, compared with citizens of other nations — and that we have little interestin learning to speak another. But is this true?

Since 1980, the United States Census Bureau has asked: “Does this personspeak a language other than English at home? What is this language? How welldoes this person speak English?” The bureau reports that as of 2009, about 20percent of Americans speak a language other than English at home.

But when the American Community Survey (an ongoing survey from theCensus Bureau) arrived in my mailbox last month, posing that question, I had to

asked about language characteristics, and its question has always seemed toassume that English is the only language relevant for the aspects of life that takeplace outside the home. This assumption, though outdated, is somewhatunderstandable. After all, the bureau’s primary goal in asking this question is notto paint a full and complete portrait of the language proficiencies of Americans butrather to track immigrants’ integration into mainstream American society and toascertain what services they need, and in what languages.

(The answer,incidentally, dented Europe’s reputation as highly multilingual: only 56 percent ofthe respondents, who tended to be younger and more educated, said they could.)Until the census question is refined, claims about American monolingualism willalmost certainly be overstated.

The celebrated multilingualism of not just Europe but also the rest of theworld may be exaggerated. The hand-wringing about America’s supposed linguisticweakness is often accompanied by the claim that monolinguals make up a smallworldwide minority. The Oxford linguist Suzanne Romaine has claimed thatbilingualism and multilingualism “are a normal and unremarkable necessity ofeveryday life for the majority of the world’s population.”

But the statistics tell a murkier story. Recently, the Stockholm Universitylinguist Mikael Parkvall sought out data on global bilingualism and ran intoproblems. The reliable numbers that do exist cover only 15 percent of the world’s190-odd countries, and less than one-third of the world’s population. In thosecountries, Mr. Parkvall calculated (in a study not yet published), the averagenumber of languages spoken either natively or non-natively per person is 1.58.Piecing together the available data for the rest of the world as best he could, heestimated that 80 percent of people on the planet speak 1.69 languages — not highenough to conclude that the average person is bilingual.

Multilinguals may outnumber monolinguals, but it’s not clear by how much.The average American may be no more monolingual or less multilingual than anyother average person elsewhere on the planet. At the very least, we can’t say forsure — not in any language.
