Modern languages have taken a bit of a battering in our schools lately but Pat Howarth, principal of Hummersknott Academy in Darlington argues that acquiring a second language is a great asset in life and can help young people find a good job.
Learning a foreign language has never been a better option as opportunities open up across the globe with businesses and organisations requiring recruits who are able to speak more than their Mother Tongue.
