Serialize arraylist with class

Hello guys,

Is there any way to serialize the following? Or do I need to create a new
class called Languages that inherits Language?

<Serializable()> _
Public Class Language
Public LanguageName As String
Public LanguageCode As String
Public Active As Integer
End Class

Dim _languages As New ArrayList
Dim _language As New Language

' Load _languages with _language's

Dim oXS As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(GetType(ArrayList))
Dim oStmW As New StreamWriter(Server.MapPath("test.xml"))

oXS.Serialize(oStmW, _languages)
oStmW.Close()

I would like to get an xml file like this to deserialize in another
application;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Languages xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Language>
<LanguageName>Svenska</LanguageName>
<LanguageCode>sv-SE</LanguageCode>
<Active>1</Active>
</Language>
<Language>
<LanguageName>English</LanguageName>
<LanguageCode>en-EN</LanguageCode>
<Active>0</Active>
</Language>
</Languages>

Thanks.
Jonah
