Results of a survey of 234 schools, placing special emphasis on the role of linguistics and the recommendations of linguists in their language programs, are presented. A questionnaire gathered information on the number of class meetings per week, the length of class time, the number of students per section, and whether class materials were linguistically oriented. Also surveyed were basic texts and oral drill and drill materials used. Conclusions are drawn about the study's design and results, and recommendations for future research are made. (AF)
