Foreign Language Teaching in the Community College.
Schimmelbusch, Gisela H.
The foreign language teaching situation in community colleges is discussed. Foreign language teaching in community colleges tends to be demanding due to the limited curriculum of such institutions, limited enrollment in foreign language courses, and the heterogeneity of the student population in terms of career goals, educational preparation, and intellectual ability. Brief socio-economic and educational profiles of community college students are provided. Some basic rules for teaching first- and second-year courses are given, involving the foreign language teacher's classroom behavior, assignments, and course content to be covered. Foreign language instruction for career-oriented students not in need of the traditional college language series is discussed, as well as the administrative and political problems that foreign language instructors have to contend with, including large classes and the pressure of declining enrollments.
