Homework 2: The Advisory Committee
Based on what we have covered so far in this course, what general
recommendations would you make about foreign language teaching in school
classes K-12? At what ages should children start to learn foreign
languages? Would you favor a more formal or a more informal
('naturalistic') approach to teaching? Be sure to cite specific evidence
and arguments in favor of your conclusions. Make use of the class
lectures, and any readings or on-line resources that you might find
relevant, such as the article by Gleitman &
Newport (1995).
