The two bar charts illustrate the proportion of 14 to 16-year-old students of both sexes studying a foreign language in a country where English is spoken.
Overall, the first bar chart details the percentage of students studying a foreign language, with the highest percentage of girls, whereas the second one shows the top 3 languages studied by students, which shows that the highest language learned is French.
By 1984, female gender students who studied a foreign language accounted for nearly 50%, while the opposite gender accounted for just 30%. Over two decades, both sexes have dropped significantly, boys comprised at over 20%, while girls increased nearly 2 times, to 40%.
French is the highest language learned, accounting for 50% in 1984. By 2007, French still stood at the highest percentage of the language learned by students, but had reduced by half to 25%. Conversely, Spanish is the lowest language learned by students, reaching just 5% in 1984, and doubling to 10% in 2007. Meanwhile, the German language stood at 20% by 1984, and over two decades reduced to 15%.
