Abstract	The recent renewed interest in second language and international studies is viewed from a national perspective and from the perspective of statewide planning in Illinois. According to the review, one reason for the increased interest in the relevance of foreign language and international studies is a series of national and state reports recommending improvement in those areas for reasons of economic development and national security needs. Relevant statistics on international trade and the labor market are noted, and the role of language proficiencies in science, technology, and research for economic development is defined. Two converging trends are outlined: the trend toward a consensus in both the education and business communities regarding the essential role and accelerated demand for language and international proficiencies in interconnected state, national, and world economies, and the corresponding trend in higher education toward internationalized curriculums. These courses of study are characterized by combinations of majors in professional disciplines, such as business, economics, law, and agriculture, with second language and international studies.
