Abstract | Developing advanced proficiency in a second language benefits both learners and the societies to which they belong. Educators, employers, and learners can define advanced level proficiency in a language as being able to use language for academic and professional purposes beyond daily life. But being able to use the language at work is not the only advantage of advanced proficiency. Advanced learners obtain numerous cognitive benefits that accompany fluency in a second language, including better cognitive control, a brain with more flexibility, and a longer, healthier life by, for example, warding off impairments such as dementia. Advanced learners derive psychological benefits from their successful learning experiences, such as high self-esteem and an increased sense of self. Advanced users of additional languages also have access to more educational and employment opportunities. These tangible advantages can lead to higher earnings, which benefit not just the person, but their families and future generations. Societal benefits from advanced-level skills in languages are also vast and long-lasting. Advanced language skills allow meaningful intercultural exchange, which leads to more acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. (ERIC). |
