Publications on the National Standards

In this report based on a conference presentation, the authors lament the lack of progress made in teaching students to use second languages for real communication. They argue that the Standards provide a framework for pulling instruction in a more communicative direction and summarize the SLA/teaching framework that underlies their argument (VanPatten and Lee's processing instruction and Vygotskian sociocultural theory), and provide classroom activities as models of how to teach in this framework.
