“…Team teaching approaches were advocated by Horner (1970) and Orwen (1971) to change the prevalent teacher training model in university FL departments where only one faculty member (usually the methods instructor) was involved with prospective teachers. However, although some departments apparently saw teacher development as a joint venture for all faculty, Kalivoda (1971) pointed to possible conflicts, and even hostility, between the literature faculty and the FL education specialist within a department, due to the fact that the two factions often had distinctly different goals.…”

The preparation of U.S. foreign language (FL) teachers has been a frequently discussed topic during the past century. As the oldest, continuously published American journal devoted to FL learning and teaching, the MLJ provides an overview of the many issues pertinent to FL teacher education that the profession has grappled with. This historical review traces discussions and developments in teacher preparation and certification since the MLJ 's inception in 1916. In three sections, each covering a quarter century of the Journal 's publications, the article describes the most relevant discussions and events that have helped shape FL teacher education in the United States. Although many efforts —and doubtlessly many advances —have been made to assure a supply of qualified FL teachers for the nation 's schools, many of the problems discussed more than 80 years ago still remain unsolved. The author hopes that a critical look at the past will help the profession to focus on those proposals that are finding emerging consensus and to prioritize those needs and activities that help effect meaningful change in improving the qualifications of FL teachers.
