“…Freeman (1961) expressed concern over the wide variation in language competence among the participants. And Freeman (1960Freeman ( , 1961 and Haac (1963) mentioned that the linguistics component of the institutes remained problematic, given that linguistics faculty apparently had difficulties in making their subject applicable to teaching. Freeman (1961) considered this weakness in linguistics instruction a thorny issue, because "certain basic principles of linguistics lie at the root of teaching in the 'new key'" (p. 112), that is, in the audiolingual method.…”

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.

In a subsequent letter to Mill (March 4, 1842) the nationalist bases of Comte's "internationalism" and the central role of France within it rings even more clearly:…”

This article explores the relationship between positivism and nationalism in 19 th century France and Mexico, arguing that positivism cannot be understood without considering it in close relation to the rise of collectivistic and civic nationalism in each society. To elite intellectuals in both France and Mexico, positivism seemed to resolve the apparent chaos generated by the political-conceptual revolution that nationalism had given rise to, and to provide the background to an historical narrative that served nationalist aims, by seeming to assure the ultimate triumph of the nation.
