ABSTRACT
This chapter is an illustration of what practical materials may look like where Modern Languages Across the Curriculum is adopted in a school or college. We have seen in previous chapters how MLAC can be understood as a natural extension of second language learning and teaching and a consequence of the progress in methodology over the last century or so. We have also seen how such an approach can be justified from several different theoretical standpoints. Such theoretical bases include the sociological and cultural as well as the psychological and linguistic. Many of these features are illustrated within the case examples, which show how these trends have been actualised in various European countries. Context is all. We have seen European languages taught in first language national situations; cases where regional languages are taught in L1 contexts or where L1 is taught in regional contexts. Finally, there are non-European languages taught as second languages. Governing principles of practice, however, remain the same, and are always available for adaptation to individual situations.
