The instructor's manual accompanying the student text "FSI Portuguese Programmatic Course" has two functions: it offers the teacher suggestions as to how to use the student text, and it provides a guide to the recorded portions of the student text. The guide contains a script for all of the Portuguese that has been recorded and does not already appear in print in the student text. The bulk of the text is divided into 25 units, each consisting of a series of self-tests to be carried out by the student. The units cover areas ranging from pronunciation to dialogue practice, from introduction of new grammar and exercises relating to it to exercises testing listening comprehension. Suggestions as to how the teacher should utilize these materials are also outlined. It is also suggested that the teacher be familiar with the material before the session, in order to manipulate it effectively during the sessions by means of choral repetition, individual repetition, role playing or conversation based on the dialogues.
