Year: 2000

This publication from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics reports the findings of a 3-month exploratory study that collected information about foreign language education in 19 countries. It is apparent from this preliminary study that Americans have a lot to learn from the way other countries offer language education in their schools. This report includes a discussion of eight core methodologies, strategies, and policies that language educators in other countries consider essential to success and practical recommendations for how these findings can inform U.S. foreign language education policy and practice.
