INSTITUTE FOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY TRAINERS OF PROSPECTIVE MODERN LANGUAGE TEACHERS (UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, JUNE 20 TO AUGUST 5, 1966). FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT

THE INTRODUCTORY REMARKS IN THIS EVALUATION OF THE FIRST NDEA INSTITUTE FOR TRAINERS OF LANGUAGE TEACHERS SUGGEST THAT THE INSTITUTE ENJOYED MUCH SUCCESS, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE TREATMENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS AS COLLEAGUES AND THEIR CLOSE COOPERATION. SECTIONS ONE THROUGH EIGHT OF THE REPORT COVER VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE INSTITUTE'S ORGANIZATION, FACILITIES, MATERIALS, AND FIELD TRIPS. BESIDES FULL- AND PART-TIME STAFF, THERE WERE CONSULTANTS WHOSE SPECIAL FIELDS RANGED FROM PROGRAMED LEARNING TO LINGUISTICS AND LECTURERS ON SUCH TOPICS AS KINESICS, DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN, AND STUDENT TEACHING. OTHER SECTIONS OF THE REPORT LIST IN DETAIL THE INSTITUTE'S UNIQUE FEATURES AND MAJOR STRENGTHS, THE REACTIONS OF THE PARTICIPANTS, AND THE WEAKNESSES. A FAIRLY EXTENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE INSTITUTE INCLUDES SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER PROGRAMS. APPENDIXES INCLUDE A LIST OF PARTICIPANTS AND STAFF, AND A CLASS SCHEDULE. (SS)
