Persuasive Brochure
Our group decided to make our brochure on the foreign language strengths that BYU has. BYU ranks highly in the nation for their languages departments. It is also number one in the nation for Study Abroad. The main reason why we chose this to go in our brochure is Ashley, and Sarah are bothe in the process of applying for Study Abroad so they were both really excited about this subject and have some knowledge on it. Rawleigh also thought it would be cool because he’s been on a mission and is one of the several RM’s on campus that can speak a foreign language. I know that BYU has a good program on it so I was ok with doing it also.
I’m not exactly sure how to best tailor it to the selected audience (non LDS HS students looking to where they would like to attend college). We’ll show all of the stats that show that the program here at BYU is really good and also show them the advantages of coming to BYU to learn a language, such as the fact that we have the most diverse selection of languages offered, and many students on campus speak the languages so it will be able to be used more than just in the classroom. We’ll also explain reasons why they will want to know foreign languages in their everyday life as they continue after their education here at BYU. An example of this would be the fact that employers look highly on language diversity and it makes one a more targetable employee.
We’ll also be focusing on BYU’s study abroad program. I have heard that it is number one in the nation. As I continue to research I will find more things to contribute to my argument here. Who wouldn’t want to travel and see some of the most beautiful sites that our world has to offer, while getting an education and having fun? For students who are already interested in doing study abroad before they choose a school that they want to attend, this might help persuade them to come to BYU.
My last argument here is that several foreign teens have aspirations to attend college. As the United States is still the worlds power, some might want to attend here. If they speak a foreign language, or if they simply don’t speak English this might be a good place for them to attend school. It will be easier to communicate with people at a school that has a lot of foreign language background rather than a traditional state school where most of the students have taken their required two years of foreign language to graduate from HS and that’s it. Also maybe their specific language would be something that they would like to excel in. Not many schools have majors in several foreign languages like BYU does.
