Directory Listings Developing Tomorrow's Teachers of World Languages In order for educational reform to be effective and lasting, teacher education must undergo a transformation, from preservice training to lifelong professional development. Tomorrow's teaching environment will bring new challenges and possibilities, as schools undergo curricular, structural, and cultural changes in order to meet the needs of an increasingly multicultural, multilevel student body in a constantly changing world. Foreign languages should no longer be seen as alien, but as a key force in the new order, and a deeper understanding of world cultures and the dynamics of intercultural communication must take their place in the language teacher's education. http://www.ericdigests.org/1992-1/world.htm - profile New Trends in Language Education for Hispanic Students This digest summarizes the effective bilingual strategies described in Transforming Education and HDP's recommendations for bilingual education at all school levels.
