How Do You Get There from Here? Articulating the Foreign Language Major Program.

Byrnes, Heidi

ADFL Bulletin, v20 n1 p35-38 Sep 1988

Trends affecting the shape and scope of foreign language major programs involve: (1) accountability and explicitness of instructional goals; (2) the dichotomy between the pragmatic, market-oriented perception of language and the profession's view of the humanistic value of language study; and (3) a sense of realism in the climate of foreign language education.
