Quinn, T. J.

Babel: Journal of the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teacher's Association, v17 n1 p36-47 1981

Describes the threshold-level movement in European language teaching. Objectives are not defined in terms of what material is to be covered but in terms of what behavior is desired. The movement's application to Australia is discussed from three perspectives: (1) social justice, (2) linguistic resources, and (3) multiculturalism. (PJM)
