Foreign language enrollments are declining. This decline may be clue, in part, to the lack of relevance of foreign languages to students’ current concerns antl problems. As a result, teachers may have to change their thinking about the role oC foreign languages in the curriculum. In ;I humane curriculum, foreign languages have the important role of helping students examine their lives, their values, and their ways of thinking. This kind of curriculum may necessitate giving up “covering the hook.” Teachers will have to learn new teaching strategies and techniques to help students examine their beliefs, values, interests, and concerns. To accomplisli this goal, techniques from humanistic education and values clarification can be used in the target language to help students an- 5wer such questions as Who am I? antl What do I want to become? These techniques, however, are not gimmicks to be used to “kill time.” They must be used purposefully if the goals of humanistic education are to he reached in the language classroom.
