Author's Summary— A second article describing aspects of the Navy Language School program. College language departments do not have such carefully selected students but in general they have better teachers. The Navy's experience with a stringently‐planned program, alternation of instructors, and centralized examinations makes these features worth considering for adoption in college departments.
