...think the languages crisis is helpful

Article Abstract:

An examination of the current crisis affecting the study of modern languages at university level. It is argued that this crisis is in fact a good thing, that the modern languages discipline has long been in need of an overhaul and that current modern language professors and lecturers are overpaid, undertrained and underequipped. As a result of this modern languages are currently viewed as a financial liability and as intellectually insignificant.
