"この仕事には高い語学力が要求される。"

 

This sentence translates to "This job requires a high level of language proficiency."

Here's a breakdown of the vocabulary and grammar:

1. この: This is a demonstrative adjective meaning "this". It's used here to modify 仕事 (job), specifying that it's the job being discussed or indicated in the context.
2. 仕事 (しごと): This noun means "job" or "work".
3. には: This is a combination of two particles, に and は. に is used here to indicate the direction or target of the action, and は is used to emphasize the information that comes after it, often introducing a topic or contrast in the sentence.
4. 高い (たかい): This is an adjective that means "high" or "high level". It's used here to modify 語学力 (language proficiency).
5. 語学力 (ごがくりょく): This is a compound noun. 語学 means "language" and 力 means "ability" or "power", so together they mean "language proficiency" or "language ability".
6. が: This is a particle that usually marks the subject of the sentence. In this case, it marks what is being required (高い語学力).
7. 要求される (ようきゅうされる): This is the passive form of the verb 要求する, which means "to require" or "to demand". The passive form indicates that the action is done to the subject, in this case, the job.

So, when we put it all together, it means "A high level of language proficiency (高い語学力が) is required (要求される) for this job (この仕事には)."
