Through Dr. Marion' Hines, Director of Foreign Languages of the District of Columbia Public Schools, and Dr. James E. Alatis, Dean, School of Languages and Linguistics, Georgetown University, a local school system and a private university joined forces in the formulation and preparation of a proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct an institute that would examine the view of the child in Hispanic and Francophone literature. The major beneficiaries of the activities of the institute are teachers and students:teachers would improve their foreign language proficiency while also learning more about literature on the child in Spanish and French and how to prepare materials and teach them; students would benefit from changes in their curriculum and from the teachers' renewal in their cognate fields. Dr. Hines was the unfailing developer of the institute, oftentimes balancing more than full-time responsibilities within the school system with similar responsibilities in meeting with faculties at Georgetown University and Howard University and the program officer at the National Endowment for the Humanities to establish a sound and challenging program of acadcmic and cultu91Activities for teachers. The product of all these labors is the revised curriculum, the new materials, the academic perspectives, and the institute lectures in this volume. Bcyond thc tangible and measurable efforts that this volume represents, there are those elusive intangibles of community, cooperation, and oneness that it takcs to bring professionals together to plan and influence changes in instruction and the acquisition of ncw knowledge. The District of Columbia Public Schools, in providing assistance to its teachers and others in the local arca, and Georgetown University, in encouraging its faculties to develop their research and instruction for teachers, have demonstrated the remarkable dedication of the public and private educational institutions to create innovation. Without thc confidence of both institutions and the philosophical Ali / THE CHILD IN FRANCOPHONE AND HISPANIC LITERATURE and financial support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, neither this Institute nor its products would have been available to teachers. The Institute has made a difference and has forged yet another bond betweena school system and a university. John J. Staczek Associate Professor Georgetown University Head, Applied Linguistics Program, and Project Co-Director 1 0 Preface The Child in Francophone and Hispanic Literature: Teaching Culture Through Literatureis the product of the District of Columbia Public Schools/Georgetown University Foreign Language Teachers Institute funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is a guide that integrates the teaching of culture and literature with a focus on the child in the target culture. The Institute grew out of the desire of the director of the Department of Foreign Languages of the public schools to strengthen both the cultural and language components of instruction in the foreign language program. Georgetown University's School of Languages and Linguistics was sought as the collaborating institution because of its philosophy of foreign language education and
