"The Foreign Language Annals"
Produced by members of the ACTFL (American Council on the teaching of Foreign Language).
The professional journal, "The Foreign Language Annals", was what Dr. Eileen Glisan referred to me as the most effective form of communication in the Spanish Education field. I can describe it as a peer edited journal in which members of the ACTFL submit professional articles on new forms of educational approaches. Thousand of articles are submitted to be in the journal, which is printed quarterly, but only 10 are chosen to be published. This journal enables Foreign Language teachers across the United States to communicate their views to each other in an effective manor.
The following is a quote on the effectiveness of the content in The Foreign Language Annals, that I feel are appropriate to post in this Blog-liographic Annotation. "The resulting document represents an unprecedented consensus among educators, business leaders, government, and the community on the definition and role of foreign language instruction in American education." This quote defines the who's and what's of the professional journal. I can't really assess it anymore than by summing it up with the previous exert from the summarization of the annals.
In conclusion, "The Foreign Language Annals" was a relevant article for me to read, and I am pleased with some of the information that I have acquired. It is the official journal of Foreign Language learning techniques amongst American teachers, and therefore their most prestigious form of communication. The interview assignment allowed me to gain insight on this Journal, and hopefully i'll find use for it sometime in the future.
