Turning Professional: Content-based Communication and the Evolution of a Cross-Cultural Language Curriculum.

Hoecherl-Alden, Gisela

Foreign Language Annals, v33 n6 p614-21 Nov-Dec 2000

Presents a university-level German curriculum that incorporates a combination of communicative and content-based learning. Demonstrates that professional school students can be trained alongside humanities majors by making minor but far-reaching adjustments to the elementary and intermediate language program, and without placing undue restraints on departmental resources.
