Some Considerations on Foreign Language Learning as a Means of Self-Development

Summary/Abstract: Self-development has been regarded as a complementary method of education, usually as a parallel or post-educational step, involving self-awareness, self progress, and competitive desire to reach high levels of professionalism and a complex personality. While considering a variety of skills and aptitudes the individual must put to work, second or foreign language learning is likely to count among the most important aspects that can bring benefits to selfdevelopment. An ideal situation would be if we could train our children to grow into perpetuously developing personalities, always in search of good communication with the world and themselves. Part of this self-growth must start in infancy and continue throughout our lives, as a condition of progress. My study attempts to analyse some aspects that are implicit in this process, as well as the inherent impediments responsible for us not always being able to develop our personality, depending on many objective or subjective conditions. The ultimate purpose of the study, however, is to cast light on the important aspect of self-improvement and development.
