The Teaching of French in The United States in The Early 1970's: A Descriptive and Comparative Study (Foreign Language)

This study is by nature descriptive and comparative. It consists of a secondary analysis of the United States data gathered as part of the IEA Six-Subject Survey in the early 1970's. Among the subjects included in that survey were French and English as foreign languages. In order to describe the nature of the teaching of French in the United States during that period, this study includes discussions of enrollment trends, teacher characteristics and training, instructional practices, use of teaching materials, student characteristics, and student attitudes toward school and foreign language learning. This description is given perspective by using comparative data from six other countries that participated in the IEA French and/or English studies.
