Secondary school teachers worry about how best to prepare their students for the demands of postsecondary language study. College instructors struggle with how to integrate a diversely prepared freshman population into their curriculum. The mission of this volume has been to assemble the theory, research, and vision of leaders in the field of foreign language articulation into a single volume which will benefit foreign language educators, students, program administrators, and researchers by presenting models of the most recent articulation efforts in the United States. Readers are provided with practical suggestions for facilitating placement at the local level, and offered theoretical direction for the future. The scope of this work is broad enough to reflect the experience and observations of most educators grappling with placement issues, while chapter themes offer concrete and theoretical insight into many individual facets of articulation. |
