This
is
a
challenging
time
for
UK
students
,
and
we
should
be
making
their
transition
from
university
to
the
globalized
world
easier
,
not
harder
.
The
British
Academy
has
voiced
its
____________________
over
the
growing
language
deficit
for
some
years
,
and
the
gloomy
statistics
speak
for
themselves
.
We
need
____________________
action
if
we
are
remedying
this
worsening
situation
.
The
____________________
of
the
problem
lie
within
schools
,
but
Vice
-
Chancellors
have
the
power
to
drive
change
and
help
their
students
recognize
the
importance
of
learning
languages
,
and
about
the
countries
where
they
are
spoken
and
the
cultures
they
sustain
.
We
____________________
them
to
act
and
protect
this
country's
long
term
economic
,
social
and
cultural
standing
.
