LONDON, June 17 (Bernama) — Calling French as an “useless” language, a former British Foreign Minister Chris Bryant said the Chinese and Arabic language are more useful for young generation in the 21st century, according to Qatar News Agency on Wednesday.
He said although French had been the most useful diplomatic language, the trend has changed over the last 30 to 40 years, and now the most significant languages to speak now besides English, are Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.
The Advantages of eLearning
Technology has revolutionized business; now it must revolutionize learning.
In the 21st century, people have to learn more than ever before. Especially for global organizations, live classroom-based training is becoming too costly and cumbersome. Even if employees had the time to attend all the courses and seminars and to read all the books and reports they should to remain up-to-date in their area of work, the cost of such learning would be prohibitive. The need to transform how organizations learn points to a more modern, efficient, and flexible alternative: eLearning. The mission of corporate eLearning is to supply the workforce with an up-to-date and cost-effective program that yields motivated, skilled, and loyal knowledge workers.
