Based on an analysis of some 157 replies to a survey on the training and supervision of graduate teaching assistants, sponsored by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages, this study examines current trends in the type of supervision being offered by language departments. Principal sections focus on: (1) teaching assistantships, (2) preservice training, (3) inservice training, and (4) supervisors. Several charts include information on teaching assistantship stipends, supervision and training, statistical data on pre- and inservice training, background data on supervisors, and reduction in the teaching load. Several preteaching workshop programs are described. A classified, annotated bibliography is contained in the report. (RL)
