Foreign Language Enrollments in Public Secondary Schools, Fall 1994

Abstract

Foreign language enrollments continue to make healthy increases in public schools across the country, according to the seventeenth in a series of surveys conducted first by the Modern Language Association (1958–1970and then byACTFL (1974‐present). The following report summarizes the responses received from a questionnaire sent to officials in each state and the District of Columbia. Forty‐eight states responded; however, because not all states collect data, and some collect it in inconsistent formats, enrollments were estimated for several states in whole or in part. The survey was conducted pursuant to a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, International Research and Studies Program. The full report is available from ACTFL Headquarters or can be downloaded from the new ACTFL Web Site ( http:www.actfl.org ).
