Bringing Foreign Languages into the Social Studies Classroom.
DeCoker, Gary
Social Studies, v80 n6 p219-24 Nov-Dec 1989
Illustrates a way social studies teachers can use translation exercises to teach about a geographic region. Uses translations of haiku poetry for this purpose. Students perceive and translate a haiku differently thus experiencing firsthand a fundamental objective of social studies which is understanding differences in perspectives. (GG)
