Direct linkNick Henry; Matthias Warmuth – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2025
Given that meaningful interaction is, in many respects, the backbone of L2 acquisition, language programs have often promoted language exchanges, which connect L2 learners outside the classroom.

Aimed at Ph.D. programs in German, this article offers a broad framework to discuss the urgent issues facing our programs to stem the tide of (possible or even likely) disinvestment in German in times of fiscal hardship.

Ayar, Zülal; Eksi, Gonca Yangin – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2019
The professional development activities designed solely by respecting the instructors and the trainers are mostly presented to fail to reflect the operations at schools of foreign languages. Hence, continuing professional development programs need to include the directors of the schools, and their preferences about the practices. To this end, the…

Chalupa, Cynthia; Hoecherl-Alden, Gisela – Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, 2019
German, and increasingly French and Spanish, programs are by nature global because they attract graduate students and faculty from around the world. Most have studied the language and "big C" cultural products during their graduate studies, but they have not necessarily learned approaches for fostering intercultural communicative…

In particular, the association between…

Matsuda, Paul Kei; Saenkhum, Tanita; Accardi, Steven – Journal of Second Language Writing, 2013
First-year composition in U.S. higher education has been a major site of L2 writing research.

Thompson, Amy S. – TESOL Journal, 2013
Although English as a second language (ESL) programs are common in the United States, there is surprisingly little research documenting the existing structures and mentoring strategies they use. This lack of research could be partly due to ESL programs' widely varying internal structures (Larson, 1990) and the fact that they are often marginalized…

Peer reviewedKleinmann, Howard H.; Daniel, James P. – International Migration Review, 1981
Identifies, using the Monitor Model, the problem of teaching English as a second language (TESL) as managerial and presumes that it does not indicate a lack in the underpinnings of the TESL fields. Proposes that the solution is to integrate TESL programs with larger resettlement programs. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedHuber, Bettina J. – ADFL Bulletin, 1990
Preliminary findings are reported from a survey conducted to determine the apparent absence of compensation for foreign language department chairs at some institutions.
