520 |a This report discusses three recent developments in foreign and second language education. The first is the "proficiency movement," which is leading teachers and curriculum planners to find effective ways of measuring functional language proficiency and of bringing students to pragmatically useful levels of speaking, listening, reading, and writing ability. The goal of foreign language teaching is now the effective use of the language in real-life communication settings. The second development is the introduction of the microcomputer to the language classroom. The following aspects of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) are discussed: (1) accessibility; (2) guidelines for CALL software development and review; (3) adoption of a systems analysis view of the instructional process; and (4) evaluation of CALL results. The third development is content-based language instruction--the simultaneous teaching of English and subject matter areas such as history or social studies to nonnative speakers of English. Guidelines are listed for developing effective programs of content-based language instruction. Future trends are covered and a list of references is included. (PS)
