Summary note

"Despite cuts in the past decade, enrollments in US German programs have increased modestly, a fact that surely has to do with the importance of Germany and its language on the world stage. The contributors to this volume examine the factors shaping German-language study in the new millennium, highlighting how creative, innovative, inspired approaches have allowed German to weather many of its challenges. The volume will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and students of German who are committed to invigorating its study in the United States." -- Provided by publisher
