Bostick, SCOLT founder and first co-editor of the conference proceedings; James S. Gates, past SCOLT Secretary-Treasurer; and Robert Terry, past SCOLT Chair and co-editor of Dimension. The history was published in the Silver Anniversary edition, Perspectives and Horizons Dimension: Languages ’89 . The SCOLT Board recommended that a two-decade summary ofSCOLT’s history be included in this current volume as illumination for the Index, which also appears. The authors of this current two-decade history are Lee Bradley, Executive Director from 1988-1999, and Lynne McClendon, Executive Director since 1999.  \nHistory ofSCOLT from 1990-2010  \n1990-2000: Calm before the Storm  \nThe 1990s ushered in a new optimism with the close of the Cold War era as the USSR officially dissolved on December 25, 1991. While a relatively nonthreatening scene appeared beyond our borders, the debates on “English Only”were just beginning to rise inside the U.S. The Clinton Administration opposed this legislation, and by the mid 1990s an alternative legislation known as “English Plus” was set in motion. The unfortunate casualties of the “English Only”movement were many wonderful bilingual language programs .  \nWhile the bilingual issue occupied the political agenda, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), in collaboration with many allied language organizations, began creating learning standards in tandem with the new standards movement sweeping the educational landscape. The ACTFL Standards for Foreign Language Learning debuted in 1996, although they had been in committees and drafts for a few years prior. SCOLT capitalized on the standards in the conference themes, such as “Addressing the  \n46 Dimension 2010: Communication Beyond the Classroom  \nStandards for Foreign Language Learning” in 1997,“Communications, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities” in 1998, and “Connections Beyond the Classroom” in 1999. The decade ended with the U.S. Census report for 2000 showing that the foreign-born population in the United States had grown by 57.4%, over 31 million people. The 2000 SCOLT Conference theme “New Millennium, New Directions” perhaps anticipated that a sense of change was imminent for the coming decade.  \nAs an organization, SCOLT began to recognize outstanding instructors with the “Outstanding Teaching Awards,” and members who had made significant contributions to SCOLT over the years were given the SCOLT Founders Award. Four SCOLT Founders were recognized during this decade: Elizabeth Epting, the first SCOLT Secretary-Treasurer (the designation later changed to Executive Director); Joanna Breedlove Crane, past SCOLT Chair and longtime participant; Herman F. Bostick, SCOLT founder, and Lee Bradley, the fourth Executive Director for SCOLT since its founding. In 1995 SCOLT awarded its first language study scholarship offered through the French Cultural Services of the French Embassy. By the end of this decade, the scholarship program grew to three awards: one in French given by the French Embassy, one in German given by the Goethe Institute and American Association of Teachers of german (AATG), and one in Spanish given by the Spanish Embassy.  \nThe early 1990s also gave rise to the expansion of the SCOLT Web site, which Lee Bradley, Executive Director initiated with assistance from colleague Grady Lacy at Valdosta State University. During Lee’s tenure, SCOLT was the beneficiary of extensive administrative support provided by Valdosta State. The organization began to utilize the Web site as a means to reach more of its constituents in the region. The current Web site with its unique URL evolved from these earlier efforts.  \n2001-2010: The Sto","cbCaipRy0hMG9AlO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipRy0hMG9AlO","pdf",31340,"English","# 1990-2000: Calm before the Storm\n## “English Only” and “English Plus”\n## ACTFL standards and conference themes\n## Awards, founders, and language study scholarships\n## Expansion of the SCOLT web presence\n# 2001-2010: The Storm and the Aftermath\n## Post-September 11 language needs\n## No Child Left Behind and assessment emphasis","[{\"question\":\"What were the main language policy debates highlighted during 1990–2000?\",\"answer\":\"The text contrasts rising debates about “English Only” with the later movement toward “English Plus,” noting political opposition and consequences for bilingual language programs.\"},{\"question\":\"How did ACTFL standards influence SCOLT during the 1990s?\",\"answer\":\"ACTFL’s foreign language learning standards debuted in 1996 and were incorporated into SCOLT conference themes such as those focusing on standards, communication, cultures, and classroom-to-beyond-classroom connections.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors drove the emphasis on assessment in the 2001–2010 period?\",\"answer\":\"After 2001, policy developments and accountability pressures culminated in increased attention to assessment and evaluation, reflected in Dimension articles and SCOLT’s 2004 theme on assessment practices.\"}]","SCOLT through the Ages - 1990-2010 | PDF",1792091664,23]
