Foreign Language Teaching in Elementary Schools

This booklet reports on foreign language teaching as observed in several communities of the United States. Following the actual observations, an examination of the programs is made in the light of basic curriculum principles and of principles of teaching and learning which are generally accepted in education today. Suggestions are offered to those interested citizens who might wish to study their own situations to determine whether a language program is feasible for their schools. For those who find that such a program would be desirable in their school system, suggestions for implementation are given. - Introduction.
