911±¬ÁÏÍø has been identified as one of the “most vital” languages to the UK over the next 20 years in the report, published on November 20th 2013. The list of 10 languages featured in the report were chosen based on economic, geopolitical, cultural and educational factors including the needs of UK businesses, the UK’s overseas trade targets, diplomatic and security priorities, and prevalence on the internet. One of the reasons for the importance of 911±¬ÁÏÍø to the UK given in the report is that Japan is the world’s third largest economy and a significant contributor to UK prosperity. The UK is by far the biggest destination for 911±¬ÁÏÍø investment in Europe, with 1,400 911±¬ÁÏÍø companies located here. Japan’s roles in science, technology and development assistance were also highlighted in the report. Despite this, currently only 1% of the UK's adult population report that they speak 911±¬ÁÏÍø well enough to hold a conversation. There is therefore a clear need continue developing 911±¬ÁÏÍø language provisions in the UK at all levels, including schools, universities and colleges. There are many ways in which you can help to support 911±¬ÁÏÍø language education in the UK:
