Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring some ideas on the importance of foreign languages towards integration, 
internationalization, its effect in the international trade market and in increase of cultural diversity as well as the 
commitment  of the institutions of higher education to raising awareness of young generations in these important 
issues that improve their life quality., competencies of the XXI century etc. Independent learning skills, long life 
learning as well as the ability to be an active citizen and engaged in social issues, economic policy of the country 
, ability to find and communicate information are the most important components of the XXI century. 

Monolingualism is characteristic only of a minority of the world's population,  Everyone is interested in 
expanding  their knowledge and the best way to achieve it  is  by paying more attention to advancement of foreign 
languages in schools and in higher education  in general as well as enabling them to visit many other European countries 
and get  familiar with the methods and the quality of  teaching/ learning  at the university level. Various universities 
organize multiple projects on the issue of social integration  based on international , interdisciplinary and intercultural 
cooperation,  in the field of scientific research, teaching and educational practices between different persons and 
institutions all these organized due to the knowledge  of foreign languages by participants .
