Description
A supplement for ESL Methods courses and K-12, Middle, and Secondary Foreign Language Methods courses.
This practical supplement is based on the work of Minnesota's Concordia Language Villages, the oldest and most extensive live-in summer language camp program for elementary and secondary students in the United States. Inspired by the collaboration among the 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.
