- Summary:
-
This National Profile has been prepared as the United States' participation in Phase I of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement's international study of language learning on the secondary level. It presents a complete outline of the state of foreign language learning in the United States from grades 1-12 for some college information, based on an international questionnaire distributed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement on education at the secondary level. Details are provided on demographic, socio-economic, and educational information; socio-linguistic context; language policy; language curriculum and assessment; and language teaching and professional support. The structure of the U.S. educational system from pre-school to grade 12 is outlined, and an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) addendum responds to questions about the general state of ESL teaching in the United States. Information is listed by foreign language for number of students, teachers, hours taught, trade contacts, and textbooks used and their contents. (Contains numerous references.) (Author/NAV)
