This module provides a theoretical framework and practical suggestions for developing oral second-language skills. Learning activities are designed to achieve the following objectives: (a) develop and evaluate oral drills, (b) identify characteristics of good pattern drills, (c) discriminate between "meaningless" and "meaningful" drills, and (d) prepare a teaching activity for developing oral language. Learning alternatives are outlined, and provisions for pre- and post-assessment of mastery of the terminal objectives are included. (PD)
