Teaching and Learning to Near-native Levels of Language Proficiency II: Proceeedings of the Fall 2004 Conference of the Coalition of Distinguished Language Centers

This book contains the proceedings of the conference on high-level foreign-language teaching and learning that was held at Howard University (Washington, DC) Fall 2004. Keynote speeches and conference presentations are included (one presentation in Russian). Extensive first-hand information is provided by successful language learners--those who have learned languages to a near-native level--and teachers of very advanced students. Much of this information is available nowhere else. The CDLC conferences have been found to be uniquely practical by teachers and students working at this high level of foreign-language proficiency.
