Kim, Hyejeong; Elder, Catherine – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2009

Liddicoat, Anthony J.; Crozet, Chantal; Jansen, Louise M.; Schmidt, Gabriele – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 1997
College second language programs offer more to students than knowledge of the language. Language study can challenge students intellectually and creatively and contribute to their academic and social development, even when language study is begun at this level. Value is found in the substance, process, and outcomes of language study. (Author/MSE)

It is argued that if students study…
