| Summary: | The overwhelming guiding force at the unique Foreign Language Schools at Middlebury College has been Dr. Stephen A. Freeman. Although he devotes almost the entire space in the book to others, it is his philosophy that has shaped those who teach & study at Middlebury. The school's procedures are: (1) no use of English, (2) total foreign language immersion, & (3) use of the language both in & out of the classroom. Freeman sees his endeavors as a way not only to teach foreign languages, but to shape minds & form student attitudes about life. J. Atkinson |
