Technological change and overlapping social, environmental, educational and political issues have increased the need for understandable communications among the different countries of the world. Because English is widely-used, many Americans have no other language capability and are at a disadvantage in many situations. In addition, changes in the ethnic composition of the United States have intensified the need for skills in other languages. The need for second-language skills is perhaps greater among agriculturalists than it is for other areas. The Cooperative Extension System has important roles to play in expanding these communication skills.
