Colleges and Modern Languages in New England Colleges
A New England Association discussion by Mr. Trunow on admission requisites in modern languages across fourteen colleges shows four silent on language, seven with elementary requirements, and three with advanced ones. Uniformity demands elevate standards, yet colleges diverge in goals, methods, and curriculum, risking inconsistent secondary schooling outcomes. Harvard and Yale favor translation at sight, favoring reading over grammar for beginners, while others emphasize grammar, causing a patchwork of entrance criteria. The talk cautions against levelling down and urges a coordinated upscaling to a usable, equitable standard across institutions.
