Review

"Dr. Stein-Smith has argued persuasively that in an increasingly global world, this language deficit challenges our ability to protect our national security, ensure our economic prosperity, and foster our social integration...in a vastly complex global world... the ability to communicate effectively around the globe is more essential than ever." (Professor William 'Pat' Schuber, Fairleigh Dickinson University) "Dr. Stein-Smith calls for an interdisciplinary approach to developing, teaching and marketing education through "cultural intelligence" supported by foreign language reform. This book is a resource worth reading." (Prof. Jose Cedillos, Nova Southeastern University)"
