The given pie charts elucidate the opinions of some British foreign language teachers about the primary causes for students to learn a second language. Overall, career, travel and purchasing overseas property are three main reasons which were reported earlier for people to develop a second language skill and recent changes show that more people started learning the language due to other factors like social contact.
According to the first diagram, one-third of the teachers in Britain who teach a foreign language believe that people learn a second language so that they can travel. According to them, career prospect is the second most important reason that drives just over one-fourth of the language learners. Interestingly, 19% of students learned the language to be able to buy property while personal development and social contact each as a reason were reported by 7% of teachers. The least percentage of tutors believe that people learn a language to have a foreign partner.
The second pie chart, however, shows that there had been some changes and property purchase in a foreign country was reported as the main reason for learning a language. Career, according to this diagram, was the second most favoured reason while social contact attracted. Only 3% of teachers at that survey believed that people learn a second language to travel. All other reasons contributed to just above 10% of student's learning a foreign language.
