Some of the possibilities for taking language learning and instruction into the larger classroom of the school, the community, and the world are considered. Programs conducted within the school or college campus but outside of the usual classroom include intensive language courses and interdisciplinary courses. A step farther from the traditional classroom are language camps, language festivals, and ethnic festivals; still farther removed are the various types of programs abroad. An attempt is made to determine how these new curricular connections promote language learning. Suggestions are offered as to how foreign language teachers might integrate "extra" classroom instruction into their own programs. Several conclusions about the nontraditional programs are presented. It is suggested that although intensive foreign language courses are more prevalent at the college level, there is no reason why they could not be effective at the secondary level. Interdisciplinary programs involving foreign languages are on the increase in this country. Language camps have become an increasingly popular way of providing students with linguistic and cultural immersion, and although language festivals and ethnic festivals are often thought of for their motivational purpose alone, they function as sites for language learning. Lengthy periods of study abroad are out of the reach of many students because of the expense involved, but short-term study-abroad programs continue to flourish. (SW)
