This approach has been identified as very important by the [[European Commission]] <ref>[http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2003:0449:FIN:EN:PDF COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Promoting Language Learning and Linguistic Diversity: An Action Plan 2004 – 2006]</ref> because:"It can provide effective opportunities for pupils to use their new language skills now, rather than learn them now for use later. It opens doors on languages for a broader range of learners, nurturing self-confidence in young learners and those who have not responded well to formal language instruction in general education. It provides exposure to the language without requiring extra time in the curriculum, which can be of particular interest in vocational settings."</blockquote>
