Sections One through Five serve as the introductory portions of this booklet and are designed to help those who have had little experience in teaching bilingually or in teaching English as a second language. These sections include some minimal hints for dealing with Vietnamese children and understanding their culture. They also have some basic suggestions relating to teaching conversational English to speakers of vietnamese. Section VII contains Vietnamese and English phrases which can be used by American educators in conjunction with literate speakers of Vietnamese. This section can also be used as a source of instruction beyond the basic phrases which are presented in Section VI and includes topics such as registering, in the classroom, class absence and illness, and others. The dialogue material in this bulletin serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it is intended to equip the newly arrived Vietnamese student or adult with a series of Practical expressions to meet everyday needs of living in Wisconsin, and secondly, it may be used as a basic corpus of material for introducing the novice student to the English language. The dialogues are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. (Author/AM)
