Doing Foreign Language: Bringing Concordia Language Villages into Language Classrooms

Inspired by the collaboration among Minnesota's Concordia Language Villages, the National Capital Language Resource Center, the Center for Applied Linguistics, and the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition, the authors offer lesson plans and supporting activities that capture the essence of this hugely successful program and translated it into equally successful programs for traditional foreign language classrooms. This book reflects ACTFL Standards' five Cs—Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities—ensuring that future teaches are ready to meet the expectations of students, parents, principals, and communities. For educators, volunteers, and aids teaching foreign languages.
