Foreign Languages and the Environment: A Collaborative Instructional Project

The project described here—a collaborative venture between Modern Languages and Physics—provided an opportunity for students to increase their language proficiency while learning about concepts related to the environment. The Standards for Foreign Language Learning, and in particular the “Connections” goal, call for foreign language educators to integrate language instruction into other disciplines, while the “Communities” goal advocates using the language beyond the classroom. In the same vein, the Modern Language Association (MLA) has issued a report (“Foreign Languages and Higher Education: New Structures for a Changed World,” 2007, found at www.mla.org/flreport) that envisions “a broader and more coherent curriculum in which language, culture, and literature are taught as a continuous whole, supported by alliances with other departments and expressed through interdisciplinary courses.”
