Abstract

Vocationalizing Languages in general would refer to the practical application of Languages to day-to-day affairs of the society. Its implication would go far beyond the theoretical nature and curriculum of language, well into the professionalizing of its basic essence; communication. Many today talk of profiting from Language as a vocation. Not just as “word mongers” like media broadcasters and journalists, but also as interpreters, translators, bilingual authors and secretaries of United Nations’ standard. People can actually eat-off the mastery of a foreign language such as the French language. This paper “The implications of vocationalizing the French language for a secured and more profitable nation”, emphasizes the world of good the proficiency in the language would do the nation and highlights also the rudiments of its acquisition.
