This groundbreaking text delves into a comprehensive analysis of primary source textual documents produced by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) between 1947 and 1968. Through meticulous scrutiny, it unveils the hitherto undocumented influence of the FSI on K-12 language instruction and assessment in the United States. By tracing the historical trajectory of the FSI and its attitudes and practices related to language learning and bilingualism, this text offers a profound insight into the evolving significance of bilingualism in the United States. It highlights how the FSI's approaches to language instruction and assessment continue to shape language education in American public schools. By mapping the development and integration of language proficiency assessments that bear strong resemblance to those employed by the FSI, historical analysis uncovers crucial political and economic motivations behind the increased promotion of language instruction in the US education system. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students alike, shedding light on issues of language instruction and assessment that persist in contemporary public education. Its insights into the interplay between policy formation and language instruction will be of particular interest to those seeking to understand the complex dynamics shaping language education in the United States.
