Research reports, including some foreign ones, completed since 1945 or in progress in 1964 are included. The research reported was performed pursuant to a contract with the United States Office of Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Bibliographies, periodicals, and serials are listed with occasional annotations; however, research completed and in progress make up the bulk of the material. A great deal of attention is given to methods, materials, and equipment, covering the teaching of specific languages, auditory and visual aids, language achievement evaluation, and equipment specifications. Other sections cover methodology of research, psychology of language and language learning, linguistics, teaching cultural and intercultural context, languages in the curriculum, and teacher qualifications and training. Author and subject indexes are included. For a related document see ED 024 293. (AF)
