1. Some people take foreign languages here but it is most likely not the majority of students. Some students are bilingual already. Some students are International students and speak a different language as their first language instead of english.
2. I feel that people should learn second languages because it can open up doors to many new things,
3. I want to know the percentage of students that take a foreign language class and the most popular language studied.
4. I relate to my topic because I took a second language in school and was raised learning spanish and english at the same time.
5. I assume that the majority of students only speak english. Also, they probably didn't retain much from any foreign language class they took in high school because of the inability to practice it often. I think that people may be financially limited and unable to study abroad.
6. The Virginia Tech community of students is a part of my topic as well as the faculty of the language department.
7. Groups included are any group that the students and faculty here at Tech are a part of.
8. Groups that I belong to include the following: Puerto Rican, Cuban, American, white, english and spanish speaking, college student, middle child, Catholic
9. My group is a part of a dominant culture of students getting an education. The marginalized culture is Virginia Tech and Hokies because not everyone goes to this school in the US. I am a part of the dominant culture because I am white and speak English. However, I am also part of a marginalized culture because of my Puerto Rican/Cuban background and ability to speak spanish.
10. We should keep in mind that the people we survey are going to come from many different backgrounds and many have a wide range of views on our topic.
