Counseling pupils of high school age about foreign language programs fitted to their needs and abilities is somewhat more difficult than in the past, both because the objectives are different and because a thoroughgoing revision of language instruction is taking place at all levels of the school system. Guidance workers, teachers, principals, and parents who have the responsibility of helping pupils plan their program of study frequently feel a need for basic information about foreign language. This bulletin, which provides such general orientation for counselors, is offered as a service of the Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language Section under Title III in collaboration with the Guidance, Counseling, and Testing Section under Title V, National Defense Education Act of 1958. The following are appended: (1) Foreign language entrance and degree requirements for the B. A. Degree; (2) Foreign Language entrance and degree requirements for the B. S. Degree; and (3) Languages of the world. [This bulletin was written in collaboration with Frank L. Sievers. Best copy available has been provided.]
