Do you want to get involved in reforming foreign and second language education? What does it takes to foster the quality of language learning? What would be your role as a student, teacher, or administrator in such a change? How much modification of your understanding about the professional field is needed in order to ensure your success as a learner and/or educator? In light of the New Visions in Action initiative, teachers, researchers, administrators, and policy makers from North America and Europe discuss ways of connecting (trans-)national reform and individual classroom practice. Through their work, they demonstrate the many advantages of international collaboration for reaching national agendas and personal goals at the same time. Since the specific approach of this publication calls for an active reader, you will take the first step toward personal involvement in redefining how we teach and learn languages by picking up this book.
