The UCLA-Philippine Language Program, 1957-1966.
Bowen, J. Donald
This document discusses in detail the development and operation of a language program implemented in the Philippines, beginning in 1957, with the assistance of the University of California, Los Angeles, through the Rockefeller Foundation. The program faced a number of difficulties including a school system in the process of post-war rebuilding, a complex background of languages with different historical functions, the confusion of an emerging national language seeking its role, and the obvious need for improvement in language teaching. The program was concerned with teacher training in the Philippines, training for second-language specialists both in the Philippines and the United States, production of instructional materials, and research and experimentation. Extensive details of the program proposal and implementation are presented. (VM)
