Through close analysis of primary source textual documents produced
by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) between 1947 and 1968, this
unique text reveals the undocumented influence of the FSI on K-12
language instruction and assessment in the United States. By
investigating the historical development of the FSI and its
attitudes and practices around language learning and bilingualism,
this text provides in-depth insight into the changing value of
bilingualism in the US, and highlights how the FSI's practices
around language instruction and assessment continue to influence
language instruction in American public schools. By mapping the
development and integration of language proficiency assessments
which strongly resemble those used by the FSI, historical analysis
uncovers key political and economic motivations for increased
promotion of language instruction in the US education system.
Providing insights into issues of language instruction and
assessment in public education that persist today, this book will
be particularly useful to researchers and students interested in
how policy formation has shaped language instruction and assessment
in US public schools.
