The enrollment of students and the number of teachers in the various foreign languages have increased and a significant improvement in the quality of foreign language education has resulted from recent and continuing developments. As the new decade begins, foreign language teachers have reason to believe that even greater progress and development can take place. Unfortunately this is also a time of decreasing federal financial sponsorship and a time of reducing foreign language entrance require- ments in colleges and universities. Therefore, it is clear that this is a. time of challenge-- challenge to make foreign language study available to more students for longer sequences challenge to cooperate .with local, administrators and keep them apprised of the value of foreign language education challenge tore-evaluate the requirements and seek new sources of financialbacking challenge tomake foreign language study motivating, interesting, and relevant challenge to teachers to be even more effective through improved individualization and humanization of learning. To meet these challenges and the others current in education today, committees of outstanding educators under the leEAership of Paul Luckau, Consultant in Foreign Language Education, have prepared this foreign language curriculum guide. It is in loose leaf format so that partial revision is possible every year to respond to the stimulus of innovation. The staff of the Office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction takes pride in presenting this guide to foreign language education in the jet age worldindeed:the age in which national barriers, racial intolerance, and linguistic misunderstanding are disappearing. Lerue Winget Deputy Superintendent for Instruction iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This guide was developed through a series of three workshops held June 6 to July 1, 1966; June 5 to June 16, 1967; and June 16 to June 27, 1969.
