This publication is the fifty–eighth in the CAL‐ERIC/CLL Series on Languages and Linguistics. The material in this publication was prepared pursuant to a contract with the National Institute of Education, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Contractors undertaking such projects under Government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their judgment in professional and technical matters. Prior to publication, the manuscript was submitted to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages for critical review and determination of professional competence. This publication has met such standards. Points of view or opinions, however, do not necessarily represent the official view or opinions of either the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages or the National Institute of Education. ABSTRACT Through cooperation between language teachers and guidance counselors, the totality of student needs for present purposes and future directions can be served. This article reviews the relationship among counselors, students, and language instructors; describes their common goals, with emphasis on career guidance in its broadest definition; and enumerates practical steps to foster communication between counselors and teachers.
