Are you speaking about a language student statistical report or the commission headed by Geisler, and addressing what was perceived as a literature-centered curriculum for grad. programs and
many undergrad. programs? There is some very interesting research about double-majors. the AATF is conducting some of this research along with a special focus on combined majors. My article on curriculum nomenclature will be published in January. Though I
see some slightly refocused graduate programs, I do not see a lot of movement right now. We are on the verge of a big shift in undergraduate education, away from high culture and theory. I suspect that technology will be playing a major role until graduate
programs can refocus teacher training toward what is animating student interest.
I should point out that one thing which holds up progress is the uncertainty about the future of grad. programs. I have a list of compromised programs, which is growing larger. As smaller graduate programs shut down, they reduce the chance of high schools
maintaining AP, IB, dual credit programs, and well as community college faculty and university adjuncts (because of the accreditation association 18 grad. hours rule).

Hi everybody!
I have been using the 2007 MLA report heavily in the past few years but it's now 6 years old. Do we have anything newer documenting the need to provide language graduate students with more teacher training and tech training? Anything would help, a conf
proceeding, or an article, a report...Thank you!
Edwige.
