Welcome to The Modern Language Journal Electronic Index [1916 forward]
Compiled and Edited by Suzanne S. Moore [Western Carolina University] and David P. Benseler [Case Western Reserve University]
Introduction
We are pleased to present this research tool to the scholarly community
of teachers and researchers in foreign-language teaching and second-language
acquisition. Our cross-referenced index to the articles and reviews published
in the first eighty volumes of The Modern Language Journal [MLJ]
is intended to help teachers and scholars gain improved access to the
wealth of ideas, both theoretical and practical, contained in the publication.
Other than the annual listing of names and articles found at the end of
each volume of the MLJ, this is the first such index to be compiled
and published.
