28 WHY should GLOBAL COMPETENCE be a vital part of World Language instruction ? … the world will not be saved by high test scores. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st we have seen all too well the incredible world-defying blunders committed by the so- called best and brightest. The disastrous Vietnam war, the unforeseen consequences of the invasion of Iraq, the financial meltdowns of 2001 and 2008 … What is needed more than ever is a laser-like focus on the kinds of human beings that we are raising and the kinds of societiesindeed, in a global era, the kind of world societythat we are fashioning.
