The plan would have foreign language as part of the mandatory core curriculum and not just an elective course as is now the case.

Howe and others in his group claim that today there is no comprehensive statement of philosophy, rationale and direction governing foreign language instruction in peace. "We would like to see Russian and Japanese taught in our schools, but it's a money factor," said Dean Allan, director of secondary education in the Nebo School District.

Now, most programs involve languages such as Spanish, French and German, where it may be easier to find a pool of qualified and certified teachers. "If we have people start training now for a language teaching job, they need to know now that there is going to actually be a job for them when they graduate," said Allan.
