		I have seen some adult language learners who do not want to learn a language unless they actually "need it to do their work." Further they think they should be taught materials in their language study which they will be using in their job.
		For instance, some may suggest studying, as a language text, the first book of some course they will be required to teach in their work responsibilities.
		Thus the language is a channel by which a foreigner can learn how the world is organized in the new host culture.
