This book on service-learning provides a current view of
service-learning research in the second language classroom and
practical applications for the acquisition of both cultural
knowledge as well as the different language modalities. This book
helps in understanding how using service-learning in the language
classroom can facilitate language acquisition. The author addresses
many of the challenges faced by teachers in the second language
classroom as they try to implement service-learning programs in
their curriculum. Based on the research as well as the experience
of the author and other practitioners in the field, suggestions are
given in each chapter as to how to maximize student learning and
acquisition of specific aspects of a language as well as on the
formation of successful programs and service-learning experiences.
These suggestions are integrated into the individual chapters based
on the focus of the unit. This text shows how service-learning
allows students real world application of the language they are
learning in the classroom. This text discusses how service-learning
assists students in contextualizing their learning and seeing the
reality of their field of study and the applicability of their
language classes to settings that they encounter in their own
communities. Finally, at all levels teachers, professors, and
administrators are being asked to provide standards and assessments
to demonstrate achievement and excellence in their different
fields. This text addresses how service-learning aids students in
meeting these proficiency standards and helps them achieve many of
the goals set forth by national and international foreign/second
language learning organizations.
