handle is hein.cow/anamacp0490 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE The articles in this volume comprise the working papers for a week-long meeting held at the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies in June 1986. That meeting, supported by the Exxon Education Foundation and the Ford Foundation, was in preparation for the establishment of the National Foreign Language Center. Those in attendance at that meeting were Lyle Bachman, University of Illinois; Richard Brod, Modern Language Association; Russell N. Campbell, University of California at Los Angeles; John L. D. Clark, Defense Language Institute; Ray T. Clifford, Defense Language Institute; Helen Cunningham, Pew Memorial Trust; John Fought, University of Pennsylvania; Phyllis Franklin, Modern Language Association; Claire L. Gaudiani, University of Pennsylvania; Ralph Ginsberg, University of Pennsylvania; Frank Heny, State University of New York at Albany; Ralph Hester, Stanford University; Randall Jones, Brigham Young University; Eleanor Jorden, Cornell University; Cornelius Kubler, American Institute in Taiwan; Richard D. Lambert, University of Pennsylvania; Dale Lange, University of Minnesota; Diane Larsen-Freeman, Experiment in International Living; Steven Lavine, Rockefeller Foundation; Michael Long, University of Hawaii at Manoa; Nancy McCarthy, Ford Foundation; Sarah Jane Moore, American Academy of Political and Social Science; Alice Omaggio, University of Illinois; C. Edward Scebold, American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages; Arne Shore, Exxon Education Foundation; Peter Stanley, Ford Foundation; G. Richard Tucker, Center for Applied Linguistics; and A. Ronald Walton, University of Maryland. The articles in this volume are an attempt to capture the essence of a great deal of planning and advocacy currently taking place around the country in the field of foreign language pedagogy. The authors of the articles were asked to summarize the current state of knowledge and to make recommendations for future action on particular aspects of foreign language instruction. Together, these articles constitute a fresh statement of what the nation must do to improve the foreign language competencies of our citizens. By the time this volume is published, the National Foreign Language Center will have been established. It will be the primary purpose of that center to provide national leadership in the fulfillment of this agenda. It is hoped that other organizations and individuals will find this compilation of analyses and recommen- dations useful for their own efforts as well. RICHARD D. LAMBERT 8
