- Summary:
-
The history and organization of a community college program in French, Spanish, and German language instruction for gifted elementary school children are described. The collaborative effort of the college and school districts, funded by the Federal Government and the Gifted Students Institute, provided 21 elementary teachers with methods training and language skill development through a workshop and internship. The teachers now form a pool of expertise from which the college can draw to staff its increasing numbers of children's language classes, both on campus and at local schools. Measures of the program's effectiveness indicate measurable gains in participating teachers' language skills, gains in teachers' ratings of their own language skills, increases in knowledge of language teaching methods, and enhanced interest in teaching languages to children.
