foreign language proficiency are guiding principles for many academic programs, internships abroad are increasingly at the core of cooperative ventures between business and liberal arts programs (23). The communicative needs of foreign interns can be met in part by language for specific purposes (LSP) courses, although some foreign language departments have resisted such courses because of a "perceived poor fit within the liberal arts curriculum" (16: p. 44). Even so, many departments have observed that LSP courses respond to a significant demand and can help sustain or increase the number of foreign language majors (e.g., 6: p. 5; 13: pp. 383, 386; 15; 16; 25: p. 12). In adapting their curricula to meet the practical requirements of future interns abroad, language departments have the difficult task of designing courses that will most efficiently anticipate and satisfy the interns' communicative needs, which are subject to numerous variables. The following report describes an established pre-intern language program, and presents the results of a survey (see Appendix) distributed to past interns in order to assess the effectiveness of the various program components.
