At a time when academics and instructors in each of these fields seek to answer similar questions, too few published resources recognize and address the parallels among them. In response, Foreign Language Education in America is an edited book with contributions that represent the diversity in foreign language education today, including perspectives from elementary, middle schools, high schools, university-level courses, summer programs, federal government, and international learning. This is a practical guide to the state of the field that fills a much-needed gap for scholars, researchers, administrators, and practitioners who are looking for a resource that describes effective practices across the field."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Foreign Language Education in America / Steven Berbeco -- Elementary School Foreign Language Programs in the United States / Helena Curtain, Richard Donato and Victoria Gilbert -- One Middle School's Approach to Language: Inquiry, Ethos, and the Spirit of Culture / Emily Davis -- The High School Challenge / Linda Egnatz -- The STARTALK Experience / David Ellis -- The Emergence of Global Language Programs at Boston University: Bridging the Cultural Divide / Gisela Hoecherl-Alden -- World Languages in the American Community College / Laura Franklin -- 'Language Boot Camp': 100 Years of Middlebury Language Schools / Michael Geisler -- Language Learning at the Foreign Service Institute / David Red and James North -- Language at the Point of Need: the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center / Thomas Coakley -- The Teachers of Critical Languages Program / Zara Hovhannisyan -- ESL in the Private Sector for a Globalized Twenty-First Century / A.
