Bowker, Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education 2 NOV 3 Foreword Under Section 602 of Title VI of the National Defense Education Act of 1958, as amended, the U.S. Office of Education provided significant financial assistance in support of a wide range of activities in international studies, primarily at the higher education level. These activities include surveys of status, needs, and priorities; specialized research and studies; and the development and testing of ;nstructional and research materials, teaching methods, and curricular appr..aches to foreign language, area studies, and other aspects of international education, particularly with regard to the non Western European parts of the world. This cum ,dative listing, the ninth edition in the series, summarizes in the form of an annotated bibliography the r exults of Al activities carried out under the research authority of NDEA Title VI that were.completed by May 31, 1980. Approximately 55 additional projects were in process or about to begin at the time when this edition went to press in September 1980. As becomes apparent from a perusal of the list, the larger part of the research and development activities has to date been concentrated on foreign language instruction, particularly on the "uncommonly taught" languages of the world outside Western Europe. It is probably fair to say that most of the courses, grammars, readers, dictionaries, bibliographies, and related materials developed for the study of the previously neglected and less Commonly taught foreign languages in Americanhigher education today are the result of the NDEA Title VI research activity. Many of the items found in this bibliography would not have been prepared without the financial help available from this small but crucial program. Despite its modest annual budgets, the NDEA Research program has demonstrated a remarkable sustained productivity and usefulness of end prod- uct over the past 21 years. A review of the program for the years since 1976, when the previous bibliography was published, reveals that substantial attention continues to be given to the uncommonly taught languages. For example, instructional materials have been recently completed or are in process for Arabic, Armenian. Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Kanuri, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovene, Somali, Tigrinya and Turkish. Likewise. the program has continued to support important studies of status, needs, and priorities in international studies throughout the education spec- trum, with increased attention to elementary, secondary and teacher education: Recent examples of activities with a focus on foreign languages include an up- date of a survey of existing materials for teaching the neglected languages; the continuation of the basic biennial surveys of foreign language enrollments in American higher education and in the secondary schools; a conference on language acquisition with resulting recommendations for needed further research: studies related to foreign language testing: and a Survey of the state of the art of Chinese language study in the United States, with implications for such study programs in the future. Examples of activities with a non-language focus or with a scope broader tha .1 language alone include a computerized inventory of Soviet and East Euro- pean studies in the United States, with accompanying directories of specialists, relevant study programs and resources, as well A- projections of likely future trends of supply and demand; and a national survey of how a representative sample of college freshmen and seniors perceive major global issues. The NDEA Title VI Research program has also helped develop basic refer- ence and instructional materials for country and regional area studies, as well as other aspects of international education. 'Theseinclude a comprehensive survey of resources on Modern China to result inan annotated instructional manual. for secondary schools; the development of instructionalmaterials on Southeast Asia, for use in the junior high school curriculum;a guide to the study of the Soviet nationalities, concentratedon the non-Russian peoples of the USSR; theprepa- ration of a series of guidesto audio-visual materials on Africa for the teacher of African and global studies in grades K through12 and the junior college;a hktory of Southeastet n Europe forundergraduate college courses; andcom- pletion of a film with accompanying study guide---on«iinemporary Tibetan Bud- dhism. Like its predecessors, this cumulative listingwill be useful to scholars,cur- riculuspecialists, and program planners concernedwith the research, materials development and recommendationsof experts in many aspects of international studies, particularly the teachingand learning of foreign languages and the availability of instructional materials concernedwith geographic area studies. It will be of special value to supervisors andteachers of foreign languagesat various levels ofinstruction, particularlyat the postsecondaryievel, and to those coocerned with research in linguistics and thepsychology of language learning. It rill also he helpful to Government agenciesand educational institutions and organizations concerned witha wide variety of research and training programs in international studies. The compilation of this cumulative bibliographywas again the responsibility of Julia A. Petrov, chief of the researchsection.
