Goals Clarification: Curriculum, Teaching, Evaluation. Reports of the Working Committees, Northeast Conference, 1975.
Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Inc., Madison, CT.
The 1975 Northeast Conference's Reports propose to help language teachers at every level define their goals, implement them, and help their students recognize their achievement of language skills. The three components explored in the Reports are curriculum, teaching styles and strategies, and evaluation techniques. These components should not be considered separately, however, and therefore are found combined and highlighted within the readings. Curriculum is examined in view of its essential role in the achievement of stated goals. The role of the teacher is examined in establishing goals and designing curriculum. The reports stress the importance of testing and evaluation in the wide sense of any information-gathering activity. Part one of the reports deals with the background, and part two with implementation, of these goals. Appendices contain outlines of general educational goals and student objectives; goals and sub-goals on levels 1-6; a culturally-oriented situational theme for the German, Italian, and Spanish class; and a questionnaire on FL testing. Articles and papers of the Northeast Conference Awards are: "Gladly Teche...and Gladly Lerne," by D. D. Walsh; and "Fusion of the Four Skills: A Technique for Facilitating Communicative Exchange," by R. J. Elkins and others. (AM)
