Globalization is becoming palpably more relevant to the day-to-day experience of American, and foreign language education is disappearing. In response to this, Linda Moore argues that investing in bilingual and multilingual education is the obligation of local education authorities in her article “Americans’ Future Has to Be Multilingual”. She effectively builds her argument by using reasoning, emotional appeals and sufficient authoritative evidence.
To make his argument potent, Moore uses step-by-step logical reasoning. In the first 5 paragraphs, by asserting that “our nation is largely monolingual but is entering an increasing multilingual”, she first reasons that foreign language education in America is relatively insufficient, compared with other countries. To further win over his readers, she continues to point out that learning additional languages benefits children more than some adults expect, because it facilitates study in other subjects, staves off the effects of aging and improves their career prospects. All the reason presented here build a multi-layer reasoning that leads readers logically to the conclusion that investment in multilingualism is worthwhile. The author appeals to readers’ logic and establish solid foundation for her argument.
Building upon the momentum generated by convincing reasons, the author further utilizes well-crafted diction to reinforce his argument. When describing “a stark disadvantage” we confront, she utilizes disparity of current language teaching between our nation and China, to highlight our lagging-behind education, compared with our oversea competitors. This comparison touches the readers’ national pride and arouses the public awareness of investing in teaching foreign languages. These deliberately chosen words continues when he writes “most policymakers want their children to have global skill sets but do not encourage this in our public schools”. The behavioral difference casts ironic tone on the policymakers and implies the absurdity in our education policy, helping readers to realize the obligation to polish it. By doing so, she adds more power to her argument.
To complete her argument, the author achieves to build the cast for multilingual education in schools by abundant trustworthy evidence. She initiates her argument by quoting research statistics from influential institutions, such as U.S. Department of Education, George Mason University, D.C.-based Centre for Applied Linguistics, etc. She also cites Joel Klein, the former Secretary of State, who states that Americans grow less globally. Moore appeals to their fame to add credibility to her argument and lays groundwork for her central claim that Americans should recognize the deficiency in foreign language education.
A strong argument is composed by Lina Moore through reasoning, appeal to emotions and evidence from authoritative sources, swinging the audience to agree that it is imperative to encourage multilingual education.
