Here is the link to the pdf of the program of the World Congress of Modern Languages that just took place in
Canada: 2015 World Congress of Modern Languages It's interesting to peruse the abstracts because you can see the cutting edge of foreign language teaching in schools today. This is where language instruction is heading today. It's not those stuffy old classrooms that we keep hearing about here at HTLAL. As you will see, there is great emphasis of technology. Not surprisingly, I note that there is nothing about adults learning languages on their own. What I find really interesting is that there is so little information on the real outcomes. Despite all the very interesting ideas, proposals, perspectives and experiments, how well do the students actually speak the language, especially when compared to native speakers of the same age? I'm very skeptical. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
