The Modern Foreign Languages department in OEA is committed to giving students the opportunity to discover new cultures through an enjoyable experience of learning a foreign language. The study of a foreign language helps students develop a sense of cultural pluralism, an openness to and appreciation of other cultures. In a globalised world characterised by international links and intercultural connections, linguistic skills are crucial for employment and career as proficiency in a foreign language enhances career opportunities.
