Jensen, J. (2007). National foreign language policy: A state language coordinator's perspective. Modern Language Journal, 91(2), (261-264).

This article provides an overview of the implementation of K-12 Standards-based world languages programs in NJ. Following a historical review (1995-2005) of the process, Jensen describes serious funding and administrative obstacles. The author notes that three critical elements are necessary for success: policy, accountability, and professional development. She further argues that states need national policies to support the credibility of any long term changes in language education.
