New Jersey hosts a growing economy that is oriented toward agriculture,
industry, finance, education and research--an economy that demands contact
and interaction with the global marketplace. For New Jersey students, the
need to function competently in more than one language has therefore become
increasingly important in order to participate fully in the economic,
political, and social life of a state with over 100 ethnic groups, and where
more than 150 different languages are spoken. In the twenty-first century,
students must be able to participate in culturally appropriate ways in face-
to-face interaction with members of other cultures in order to be productive
members of the diverse communities in which we all live. Only by preparing
students with an education comparable to the best that schools around the
world offer--one that includes the study of world language--can the goal of
leaving no child behind be achieved.
