This document reports on the foreign language training offered in the Peace Corps. Following a brief introductory statement, a list of languages taught by the Peace Corps in the years 1961-67 is provided, as well as a brief description of Peace Corps language training methods. Guidelines for language coordinators are outlined, and the approach to language proficiency testing is described. The document concludes with an outline of the procedures for implementation and reporting of language testing, and critical questions for the planning and evaluation of language training programs are raised.
