Microteaching, a technique for training teachers to develop specific teaching skills through the use of a scaled down classroom situation, has proved to be not only effective but also strongly appealing to teachers. A state-of-the-art paper entitled "Microteaching: History and Present Status" prepared by the authors for the ERIC…

The problem of improving university teaching is reviewed and is seen as part of the process of re-education and change.

This state-of-the art paper summarizes the history of microteaching's development and its rationale, the many uses of microteaching, and the research evidence on microteaching--a training procedure which has become an established element in the programs of many colleges, universities, and school districts in the education of various groups of…

Training procedures used with foreign language interms in the Stanford Secondary Teacher Education Program during the summer of 1970 are described in this memorandum.
