Proceedings of the conference "Bridging Theory and Practice in the Foreign-Language Classroom," held in October 1991. Written from the practical viewpoint of language educators, 15 essays address classroom applications of second-language theory that respond to a broad spectrum of needs of foreign-language instructors. The volume begins with an important question for curriculum developers how to facilitate the transition from language to upper-division literature and culture courses. One of the essays is presented in the original French, with an abstract in English. Extensive bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
