In a study of 2,700 students who graduated from college in 1965, the average major in French, Spanish. German, Italian, or Russian could speak the language he. was majoring in only slightly better than what the U.S. State Depart ment’s Foreign Service Insti tute calls “limited working pro ficiency." Except for Russian majors, who made a poor showing over all. more than half the students could read and write the lan guages they studied at a level the researchers considered satis factory. The study was conducted by a research team from Harvard under a grant from the U.S. Office of Education. About 24 per cent of all 1985 seniors who majored in those five languages were tested. The study showed that the best-trained language graduates come from larger colleges and universities, and that private in stitutions generally produced better linguists than public ones. The private schools’ su periority is partly as a result of the fact that students at the larger, private schools spent more time abroad than students at public schools. The worst perlormances on the tests came from those who plan to teach foreign languages in high school, while those who planned to teach in college "were strikingly superior,” ac cording to Carroll.
