Aspects of Accuracy in a Proficiency-Orientated Program.
Ke, Chuanren
ADFL Bulletin, v26 n2 p28-35 Win 1995
Discusses the importance of linguistic accuracy in proficiency-orientated foreign language programs, focusing on the experiences of college students in a summer intensive Chinese program. Linguistic inaccuracy is often the result of teachers focusing on form and meaning at the same time, fossilization, overuse of communicative strategies, lack of articulation, and textbook constraints.
