IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE SPEAKING ABILITY OF THE STUDENT, TO HELP HIM DEVELOP READING AND WRITING SKILLS, AND TO AID HIM IN ACQUIRING BETTER TECHNIQUES IN SPANISH, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE TO THE TEACHER REGARDING THE USE OF THIS VOLUME. SUCH SUGGESTIONS INCLUDE CHORAL AND DOUBLE REPETITION, A READING OF MATERIAL PREVIOUSLY MEMORIZED, AND A VARIED USAGE OF THE HANDS IN GESTURING. ALL TECHNIQUES PROMOTE A MORE NATURAL SURROUNDING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LANGUAGE PROGRAM. A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF A PERIOD OF INSTRUCTION OF 1 HOUR'S DURATION IS OUTLINED. SINCE THE VOLUME IS DIVIDED INTO 20 UNITS, THE TECHNIQUES OF PRESENTING ONE UNIT ARE DESCRIBED TO HELP THE INSTRUCTOR COMMUNICATE THE TOTAL POSSIBLE MATERIALS AVAILABLE. GRADING SUGGESTIONS ENCOMPASSING ORAL AND WRITTEN TESTS, DICTATION, AND COMPREHENSION ARE EVALUATED. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE NUMBER OF POINTS OF VALUE TO BE GIVEN TO EACH TOPIC. EACH UNIT IS DIVIDED INTO A NUMBER OF DRILLS IN INDIVIDUAL AREAS. BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN TESTS ARE PRESENTED. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE FACT THAT EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING OF THE CLASS IS BASED ON CAREFUL GROUPING AND PLANNING.
