Download or read book Foreign Language Program Articulation written by Carolyn Lally and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2001-01-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few matters induce more dialogue among foreign language educators than the problem of students' transition between levels of language study. Secondary school teachers worry about how best to prepare their students for the demands of postsecondary language study. College instructors struggle with how to integrate a diversely prepared freshman population into their curriculum. The mission of this volume has been to assemble the theory, research, and vision of leaders in the field of foreign language articulation into a single volume which will benefit foreign language educators, students, program administrators, and researchers by presenting models of the most recent articulation efforts in the United States. Readers are provided with practical suggestions for facilitating placement at the local level, and offered theoretical direction for the future. The scope of this work is broad enough to reflect the experience and observations of most educators grappling with placement issues, while chapter themes offer concrete and theoretical insight into many individual facets of articulation.

Download or read book Systemization in Foreign Language Teaching written by Wilfried Decoo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign language learning is a progressive endeavor. Whatever the method, the learner should advance from one point to another, constantly improving. Growing proficiency entails growing language content. Content is complex, displaying many dimensions. Syllabus designers, textbook authors, and teachers often struggle with the monitoring of content. Computer-assisted systemization helps to handle it in a manageable framework. Besides inventorying content, it ensures more balanced selections, calculated progression, and controlled reiteration of previously learned material. It gauges the usability of authentic material in relation to the level attained. During the teaching process, it allows the instant selection of items needed for a communicative situation, focus on forms, or particular exercises. This book first describes the theoretical background for systemization, including a historical overview, with special attention to the Common European Framework and the new Profiles and Referentials. Next the practical steps for computer-assisted implementation with examples taken from French and English, but applicable to any language.
Download or read book Critical Issues in Foreign Language Instruction written by Ellen S. Silber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1991. This is Volume 22 of the Source Books on Education series. Politically speaking the study of foreign languages and cultures helps maintain a strong competitive position in an increasingly global marketplace. It was hard to imagine in 1957 that the launching of a Soviet rocket would push the United States into its greatest investment ever in foreign language education. As American policy-makers attempted to play catch-up with our brothers and sisters behind the iron curtain, this country infused federal dollars into extensive foreign language teacher training and the creation of new foreign language educational programs. As suddenly as federal support was given, however, so was it taken away; and its withdrawal was responsible for one of the darkest periods in the history of foreign language education in America. Drawing on the expertise of a number of the nation's most experienced and creative foreign language educators, this volume, edited by Ellen S. Silber, addresses some of the crucial problems we face in foreign language education today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1992, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), in Washington, D.C., convened a 2-day roundtable meeting of education leaders with expertise in foreign language education and community college teaching and administration in order to formulate a foreign language education policy statement for AACC. This report presents the results of the roundtable. Following a preface by David R. Pierce, and a foreword by James Herbert, the "AACC Foreign Language Education Policy Statement" is offered, underscoring the critical responsibility that community colleges have in meeting the nation's new need for citizens who can function in a multi-linguistic world. The statement also details recommendations to community college leaders related to making foreign language education a priority; and strengthening related programs, faculty development efforts, and articulation agreements. Next, the following roundtable background papers are presented: (1) "Foreign Language Education at Community Colleges" by David A. Berry; (2) "Making the Most of the Articulation Process," by Fe Pittman Brittain; (3) "Uses of Technology To Teach Foreign Languages at Community Colleges," by John Underwood; (4) "Foreign Language Instruction Across the Curriculum: A Strategy and Model," by Joyce S. Tsunoda; and (5) "Proficiency Goals and Teaching of Literature in the Foreign Language Classroom," by Bette G. Hirsch and Chantal P. Thompson.
