Digest EDO-FL-98-05 See other CAL Digests on professional development Professional Development of Foreign Language Teachers Joy Kreeft Peyton, Center for Applied Linguistics The foreign language teaching profession today is faced with increasing enrollments and a shortage of qualified teachers. At the same time, a rapidly changing student population, nationwide education reform, and the development of national standards for foreign language learning are placing a number of new demands on foreign language teachers. Curtain and Pesola (1994) suggest that foreign language teachers today "require a combination of competencies and background that may be unprecedented in the preparation of language teachers" (p. 241) and that strong professional development is critical. Challenges for Foreign Language Teachers Curtain and Pesola (1994) and Tedick and Walker (1996) list a number of factors that make the teaching of foreign languages especially challenging and emphasize the need for strong professional development. The variety of reasons students have for learning foreign languages and the different ways they approach this learning require that foreign language curricula and instruction address a range of student goals and learning styles.

Digest EDO-FL-01-06 See other CAL Digests on foreign language education What We Can Learn From Foreign Language Teaching In Other Countries Ingrid Pufahl, Nancy C. Rhodes, and Donna Christian, Center for Applied Linguistics During the last decade, new efforts have aimed at improving foreign language education in the United States (see, e.g., National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project, 1999). A recent study concerned with the need to strengthen foreign language skills among U.S. students examined the successes of other countries. Conducted by the Center for Applied Linguistics, the study collected information from 22 educators in 19 countries about foreign language instruction in their elementary and secondary schools. The countries represented in the study are Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Spain, and Thailand. Information was also gathered on China, England, and Hong Kong from comparative education reports. Study participants responded to a series of questions about language teaching methodologies, strategies, and policies in their countries that could inform language teaching in the United States. Answers to the key question, "What do you think are three of the most successful aspects of foreign language education in your country?" allowed study researchers to identify eight exemplary characteristics of foreign language education in the countries surveyed. This digest examines these characteristics and discusses what the United States can learn from them.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC MIDDLE SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY AND ORGANIZATION AND THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAM INTERDISCIPLINARY UNITS AND THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM Interdisciplinary instruction is increasingly popular at the middle school level because of growing recognition that learning is improved when students are able to understand the underlying relationships that connect what they are taught from one class period to the next. When objectives and content can be integrated, it is likely that greater student learning will be attained. Among the strategies for integrating instruction in different disciplines are thematic units, curricular connections, and thinking skills development. Thematic Units. In this approach, the most common in middle schools today, all teachers on the team organize the content and skills of their discipline around a predetermined theme. Team-wide thematic units have caused concern for teachers who see certain themes as incongruent with the objectives of their discipline. This is particularly true in subjects such as mathematics and foreign languages, where teachers tend to view their objectives as sequential and hierarchical, with little flexibility about what should be taught and when. Nonetheless, many creative teachers are finding ways to contribute to thematic units.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Educators have only recently begun to realize the potential of scheduling to improve schools. One such attempt, block scheduling, affects many aspects of the school environment, both organizationally and educationally. It comes in many complex variations, including four-block schedules (see descriptions below) (Canady and Rettig, 1995). Block scheduling rests on the premise that it will give teachers more instructional flexibility (Carroll, 1990), reduce the fragmentation of the day, and allow teachers to adapt their instructional strategies to address the different ways in which students learn. In North Carolina, interest in block scheduling became apparent after the State Board of Education decided to increase the graduation requirement from 11 to 14 courses in 1991. The increased number of graduation requirements made it much more difficult for students to select electives or concentrate on the extended study of one discipline.

Teach your child a foreign language Teach your children a foreign language in a way that is both fun and memorable. The world we live in has become a whole lot smaller. As a result, it is all too possible that your next door neighbour speaks a different language than you do. Who knows, your street may be a virtual United Nations in miniature. It is also highly likely that in your childs classroom, there are children who speak another language. bodyOffer(18327) So, how about teaching your child to speak another language? It will certainly open up new vistas for your young one, as well as being a wonderful gift to the new immigrants in your area. But, hang on, you say, Im not qualified to teach a foreign language. Before you close your mind to the idea, consider the fact that the easiest way to learn a new language is to converse with native speakers. And with all the talk about how we are becoming too insular and dont even know our neighbours, what better way to impart a new language to your child than to extend hospitality to a foreign neighbour and learn their language from them. Im sure theyd be delighted to oblige. By making a friend of your foreign neighbour you will be brightening up many lives. Imagine the isolation and culture shock that these people must be experiencing. Your acts of kindness go a long way to making them feel happy in their new home. You and your neighbour, with the children participating, can identify common objects for one another in each ones language. You can thus become a learn-along teacher of your child. Besides the language, your child will be learning another invaluable lesson: People of different nationality, different skin color and different cultural background are really no different from us they have the same needs, desires and motivations.

The Internet TESL Journal The Internet and Foreign Language Education: Benefits and Challenges Meena Singhal meena [at] azstarnet.com The University of Arizona, USA Introduction Over the past few years, the Internet has emerged as a prominent new technology. The influence of such a powerful technological tool has pervaded all aspects of the educational, business, and economic sectors of our world. Regardless of one's familiarity with the Internet, it is repeatedly made reference to. News broadcasters and commercials, for example, will now provide web addresses, and even the recent movie, "The Net" was sparked by the impact of this new technology (Mike, 1996). Regardless of whether one uses the Internet or not, one must be clear about the fact that the we have entered a new information age and the Internet is here to stay. Technology and Foreign Language Education: A Brief History What is the Internet? The Internet and Electronic Mail Davis and Chang (1994) point out that as writers on both sides of the world shared questions and comments, jokes began to surface. Over time, the students' reading and writing began to change as well. Through surveys and informal case studies of student writing during the conference, it was found that for the most part, students' writing had improved in both fluency and organization. Surveys also indicated that students saw some carry over to their study literature, and that they had a better understanding of English usage. While the above examples illustrate a few uses of e-mail in the second and foreign language classroom, without a doubt e-mail can provide authentic communication and can foster awareness of both the language learner and the languages they are learning.
