As a followup to the 1979 report by the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies, "Strength Through Wisdom," a study was conducted to learn what progress has been made toward improving international knowledge among Americans. State foreign language supervisors and others responsible for international education at the state level were surveyed concerning the changes that have occurred in their states based on the report's recommendations. The survey focused on changes in enrollments, languages offered, course requirements, teacher certification requirements, and state level leadership. Results from the 36 respondents and other information from earlier reports are presented. One of the strongest indicators of change is sharply increased foreign language enrollment in individual states and throughout the country. This change is traced to the return of foreign language requirements at all educational levels. The number of languages taught has also increased substantially. Ten states have added foreign language specialists at the state level. International studies have drawn attention only recently. Obstacles to continued expansion in both areas include funding, public attitudes, teacher recruitment, retention, development, articulation, and scheduling. Highlights of individual state initiatives are included. (MSE)
