West Liberty University – Annalise Murphy 
According to the WLU College of Liberal Arts website, 75% of employers want colleges to “emphasize applied knowledge to the real world.” Knowing more than one language is going to allow students to be more educated about the world around them, therefore; employers will see they are applying what they know to real-world problems—making them ‘more attractive’. Someone who can bring more to an employers’ business by being knowledgeable of other languages and cultures is going to be more appealing versus those who only know their native tongue and customs.
