Passage 2
Since 1989, pupils from the age of 11 in all state schools in Britain also learn a modem foreign language besides their ordinary subjects At the moment, most pupils choose French, and European languages will probably be the most popular ones in the near future But Britain has a high immigrant population and it's possible that schools will also offer Urdu, Gujerati or any more of the Asian languages spoken by the ethnic groups However, the British government does not participate in the European Lingua program, which requires all member sates to offer two European languages in their schools, in general, people don't think foreign languages are important, and few people speak a foreign language fluently
But many people have strong opinions about how schools should teach their own language –English Some think school children should speak the same standard accent and stress the importance of grammar Others feel that regional accents and dialects are just as important, and part of someone's cultural identity It is clear, however, that the type of language a person uses shows a lot about their education and background Teaching English as a mother tongue will probably remain more important than learning a foreign language
