Summary/Abstract: The fact that all students need foreign language skills is not new. The world as a global village is polyglot and multicultural, business and academic occupational fields are becoming increasingly international. In this world, today's student generations must be able to exist, and for that they must be prepared as leaders of tomorrow. The question should not be whether students - regardless of which subject area - need foreign language skills, but at most how many - One foreign language? Two? Three? - Which foreign language: one known by all? One known by few? - To what degree of language command? etc. If application-oriented foreign language skills are part of the profile of an academic, it is the task of universities to provide adequate language skills in order for their students to acquire this profile.
