caitlingreen15 on 21 Apr 15New Jersey now requires it's students to learn a foreign language. They are starting instruction at a younger age, in the hopes of having it be more effective. The state is basing it's decision on studies that show acquiring more than one language boosts brain function in children, and leads to success in standardized tests. They are also hoping to end a shortage of bilinguals needed in the workforce.
