Foreign Language Study Coupled With Internship Experience As An Entrée To Professional Opportunities, N. Anthony Brown
Russian Language Journal
Today’s global age presents its share of unique challenges, not the least of which is communication. Whereas in past centuries, fossil fuels played a central role in driving economies and influencing policy decisions, “language is the new oil” in the twenty-first century.1 Some forward thinking individuals and organizations have responded to the times and teamed up with universities and government agencies to develop new and innovative foreign language programs.
