Why is it important?
The present study argues that multilingualism is a solution rather than a problem and that it should ideally lead to mutual understanding rather than problems. It confirms that multiple language acquisition does not provide us with knowledge alone, but also with global communities and a global citizenry, working together in a positive spirit.
Perspectives
Foreign language proficiency and intercultural dialogue are the wings of the bird of peace. I hope this article will provoke us to further study of how to open up new horizons for civilizational dialogue based on multilingualism and mutual cultural knowledge.
