This volume addresses critical challenges and issues facing foreign
language departments in colleges and universities across the U.S.
It presents the insights of individuals who have built or are in
the process of building foreign language curricula during a major
transition period in postsecondary institutions. The authors of
this volume come from various language departments and
institutional experience from across the U. S., including private
and public postsecondary foreign language teachers, researchers and
administrators. The chapters address issues and provide templates
for curricular change at all learning levels. The five sections of
this book explore: Changing Perceptions about Foreign Language
Learning; The Case for a Multi-literacy FL Curriculum in Concept
and Assessment Praxis; Curricular Transformations: Historical
Hurdles and Faculty Heuristics; Rethinking the Graduate Curriculum;
Foreign Languages' Integration into the Interdisciplinary
University. “This thought-provoking and timely volume addresses
the question of how historic and current disciplinary,
institutional and political conditions affect curricular
transformation in collegiate foreign language programs. Responding
to the issues raised in the 2007 MLA Report, this collection of
nine essays presents a diversity of curricular models and
approaches from different theoretical perspectives focusing on the
integration of language and content. The book will undoubtedly be
of great interest to a broad audience, such as foreign language
educators, curriculum designers, administrators, graduate students
and researchers.” Nelleke Van Deusen-Scholl, Yale College, CT,
USA.
