A lot of time and money can be saved by ensuring
the right candidates are offered the opportunity of language training. Placing
a candidate in the wrong group can mean lack of progress or have a demotivating
or progress slowdown effect on other group members. Key selection criteria in
a candidate include choosing someone who:
Already speaks
the language? (to some degree)
Already
speaks a similar language? (for example, speaks Spanish and needs to learn
Italian)
Is bilingual?
Likes
the people and the country?
Enjoys travelling?
Enjoys
foreign cultures?
Will get the opportunity to use
the language regularly at work, or at leisure?
