2.3. Curricular Implications in an Advanced Content-Based Foreign Language Program.
This section describes the development of new courses at the MIIS6 in which subjects in the International Policy Studies Division were taught partly or wholly through the medium of the students' foreign language (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish). The project was funded by a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. In sections, the chapter discusses the background to and rationale for the new curriculum (Introduction), the nature of the new courses (Designing the Curriculum), the ensuing adaptations, the method of teaching the Pew courses, and consequences for various aspects of the programPeter Shaw provides an ideal final chapter to this series of case studies in CBI. First, his program at Monterey Institute of International Studies , funded by a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts, epresents a veritable synthesis of the models that we have seen in previous chapters. The program, implemented
through collaboration between the School of Language Studies and the School of International Policy Studies, experimented with five different modelsdirect content, team content, subsidiary content, supplementary content, and adjuncteach of which has appeared in one form or another in earlier chapters. Second, the various models represent a blending of CBI and FLAC approaches in that some are oriented more toward ''total immersion in the target language" and others toward the use of the target language as a supplement to courses taught principally in English. Third, Shaw's insightful comments concerning the linguistic, cognitive, affective, and pedagogical issues that emanated from the MIIS experiments serve as an excellent overview of the core issues raised by many of the other contributors. Especially valuable are his suggestions for student assessment and program evaluation, for improving teacher preparation, and his idea for a "learner training workshop." General references for this chapter are located in the bibliography at the end of this volume.
