Foreign Language Program Articulation
Few matters induce more dialogue among foreign language educators than the problem of students' transition between levels of language study. Secondary school teachers worry about how best to prepare their students for the demands of postsecondary language study. College instructors struggle with how to integrate a diversely prepared freshman population into their curriculum. The mission of this volume has been to assemble the theory, research, and vision of leaders in the field of foreign language articulation into a single volume which will benefit foreign language educators, students, program administrators, and researchers by presenting models of the most recent articulation efforts in the United States. Readers are provided with practical suggestions for facilitating placement at the local level, and offered theoretical direction for the future. The scope of this work is broad enough to reflect the experience and observations of most educators grappling with placement issues, while chapter themes offer concrete and theoretical insight into many individual facets of articulation.
The Routledge Handbook of Hispanic Applied Linguistics
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Hispanic applied linguistics, allowing students to understand the field from a variety of perspectives and offering insight into the ever-growing number of professional opportunies afforded to Spanish language program graduates.

The book is organized into five parts: 1) perspectives on learning Spanish 2) issues and environments in Spanish teaching 3) Spanish in the professions 4) the discourses of Spanish and 5) social and political contexts for Spanish. The book’s all-inclusive coverage gives students the theoretical and sociocultural context for study in Hispanic applied linguistics while offering practical information on its application in the professional sector.
