Evaluation of the programs involved documenting children?s language development, assessing the attitudes of various constituents, and examining critical issues related to the introduction and successful operation of a well articulated sequential foreign language program in schools. The volume concludes with a discussion of possible reasons why over time certain sequential foreign language programs flourish and grow while other programs are reduced or eliminated from the school?s curriculum. Parallels with the theory and practice of environmental sustainable development are used as a framework for this analysis. 410 0$aNew Perspectives on Language and Education 606 $aChildren -- Language 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Programmed instruction 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Study and teaching 610 $aJapanese. 610 $aSpanish. 610 $achild language development. 610 $aearly foreign language programs. 610 $aelementary schools. 610 $alanguage and education. 610 $asustainable development. 615 4$aChildren -- Language. 615 4$aLanguage acquisition. 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Programmed instruction. 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Study and teaching. 676 $a372.65 700 $aDonato$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01612095 702 $aTucker$b G.
