- Summary:
-
This report is an evaluation of an exploratory program in foreign languages called "Foreign Language Appreciation" (F.L.A.), which has been implemented in several schools in Baltimore County, Maryland. Questionnaires designed to evaluate the program in general were sent to F.L.A. teachers; questions concentrated on the areas of organization and curriculum. Questionnaires were also sent to current and former students in one school in order to ascertain their reactions to the program. The results showed an overall satisfaction with and approval of the F.L.A. program on the part of both teachers and students. Some problem areas that needed consideration were: (1) the current curriculum guide; (2) certain organizational and scheduling patterns; (3) the need for uniformity among teachers in the maintenance of classroom discipline and correlation of materials selected; (4) the need for additional materials; (5) the mandatory aspect of the program. Some strong points were identified, such as the greater number of students exposed to the cultures and languages of other countries and the improved ability of a student to form a preference for a language to be studied in the future. The questionnaires and a statistical interpretation of the responses are given in appendices. (CFM)
