The move to introduce the study of additional languages in Russian higher schools has yet to establish wide -ranging, ongoing student engagement and often fails to progress students beyond simple pragmatic language use. This research aims to demonstrate the importance of multiculturalism learning a second (third etc.) language(s) in the Russian system of higher education. Speaking multiple languages may be an advantage in more ways than one. Learning another language opens up access to other value systems and ways of interpreting the world, encouraging intercultural understanding, language learning is also aimed at the student's personal development, his communicative and psychological adaptation to another culture and a different language, and the use of language for professional purposes.
