Abstract
Handed an undergraduate foreign language education program that was dying and in danger of being eliminated from the curriculum of the College of Education at the University of Central Florida, the author was directed to rebuild it. The author shares the results of formative evaluation of the program and steps taken to effect program enhancement. The areas of revision were all-encompassing: revamping the program to reflect current teacher certification requirements, modifying course content to address current foreign language trends and research, changing the clinical experience to include K-8 levels, initiating program and course offering advertisement, improving the advisement of foreign language education majors, and addressing the needs of inservice teachers.
