The Economy of the Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language

Talking about the economic value of languages always seems to generate a feeling of unease, as languages and the ability to communicate give us something magical and are "sacred" - a gift from the gods - and making them into commercial products is, for many, a sin and even sacrilegious. However, this book examines the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language and for non-speakers of Spanish as economic sectors and industries which generate employment and added value contributing to the development of the country's economy and wealth.
