McAlpine, Dave, Ed.; Dhonau, Stephanie, Ed.
Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
The 2006 Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (CSC), a joint conference with the Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, celebrated languages of the world in the classroom and in the community. This volume of the CSC "Report" is the companion volume for the 2005 CSC "Report," "The Year of Languages: Its Challenges, Changes, Choices, and Celebrations" (see ED598294). This 2006 volume focuses on pre-service teacher preparation and its connected issues, and in-service teacher development and its related topics. Integrating the perspectives of language and communities for both present and future teachers is evident in the conference program and in the articles selected for this volume. The articles integrate the perspectives of a new vision for teacher development whether it is meeting the needs of a changing population, developing mentoring programs, studying abroad, or preparing for new requirements. The participants of the conference integrated the perspectives of language and communities. Both the CSC "Report" and conference integrated perspectives of foreign language education fundamental to meeting the future needs of students and teachers.
