The graphics underneath illustrate the percentage of UK students at a particular university in England

who were capable of communicating in multiple languages besides English, between 2000 and 2010.

Overall, most of the students are monolingual, they only communicate in English even though a lot of
students are interested and have learned how to use other languages such as French, German, and
Spanish …. And that depends on what they aim for their professional career.

Through the timeline provided, we find that three categories have increased by 5% by 2010, firstly
students using English as their only communication tool reached 35% and that is obvious as it is an
international language it will certainly attract a higher number, and some students have learned French
with an outcome of 20% and I suppose learning French is a great skill because it can offer opportunities
in many regions over the world as in Canada and Belgium, and not only that there is also a higher
percent for student mastering two other languages attaining 15% becoming bilingual.

The pie chart also demonstrates a decrease in certain categories as Spanish coming from 20% to 10% and
I guess that is related to the fact that besides Spain and some regions in the United States, there are no
other well-developed countries to fully perform it and we notice same for students who speak another
language coming from 15% to 10%, besides all those remarks we notice an unchangeable outcome for
the German language staying at 10% during all the period.
