Creating Hybrid Language Programs on the Flagship Model Karen Evans-Romaine and Dianna Murphy: Conclusion Appendix A Appendix BReviewsThe American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) enthusiastically endorses and supports the goals of the Language Flagship initiative to develop and recognize the professional language proficiency of our nation's future leaders. Language Flagship programs are a national model for establishing proficiency outcomes, designing instruction to target benchmarks, and systematically assessing progress towards those targets. The chapters contained in this volume examine the challenges, complexities, opportunities, and successes of the Language Flagship Initiative's innovations for language instruction in post-secondary education. Elvira Swender, American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, USA The Language Flagship programs represent a major initiative in language teaching and learning in the first two decades of the 21st century. As university-based Flagship programs have focused on the ambitious goals of high-level language proficiency and intercultural competence, they have naturally served as sites of curricular innovation that can inspire all of us who work in undergraduate language education. The editors have brought together an admirable collection of articles that document the origin of the Flagship, program outcomes, and a range of creative curricular paths that make this volume an essential resource.
