This study of college language registration and student contact hours presents data for all foreign languages taught in colleges and universities. The body of the report consists of 24 tables, in which the data are summarized, and a directory of the 2,149 institutions that reported registrations in one or more foreign languages. It is the first in the Modern Language Association of America series to include summer school data. A feature new to these surveys is the listing of student contact hours alongside the registration figures. Registration data from 1960, 1963, and 1965 have been incorporated in this report to provide background for the 1968 registration and to chart trends over the nine-year period. A section on foreign language registrations in institutions of higher education by state and institution for fall 1968 is included in an appendix with a sample report form used in the survey. An introductory section discusses the tables and data. (Author/RL)
