The Impact of Education Reform: A Survey of State Activities.
Inman, Julie E., Comp.; LaBouve, Robert, Comp.
This paper offers a State-by-State listing of the impact of foreign language teaching reform in the United States. Information for each State includes enrollments; foreign language assistance program (FLAP); systemic reform; standards, testing and assessment; agency or department restructuring and reorganization; and effect on foreign languages, English as a Second Language, and disciplinary specialists. This 1994 edition of the Joint National Committee for Languages (JNCL) and National Council of State Supervisors of Foreign Languages (NCSSFL) originally received only 38 responses; diligent effort completed the report for all 50 states. It is noted that much of the change brought about by reform has been viewed as positive, yet concerns were expressed about additional job responsibilities, threatened current positions, and elimination of foreign language consultant positions. Funding and teacher shortages, improper use of educational technology, and competition with other disciplines are discussed. Staff change results are presented in actual numbers, charts, and graphs.
