This handbook for teachers is the seventh and final volume in the series of Asian Project curriculum materials for the teaching of English as a second language to adults. The three basic components of the handbook--the phonological, the syntactical, and the cultural--are intended to provide teachers of Asian students with background information which will help them better understand the problems and needs of their students. The information included focuses on Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino students. A brief survey of the pronunciation problems of Samoan students appears in the appendix. Since Asian students are often found in classes containing many Spanish speakers, a Spanish component has been added. A bibliography concludes the handbook. (PP)
