Reading: The Third Dimension in Foreign Language Learning.
Kalwies, Howard H.
Concerned that the present 2-year, compulsory, language program in secondary schools is unrealistic in the instructional objectives it asserts, the author proposes that a strong reading program be offered to interested students. Some discussion of current curricular problems, reading materials, and transfer of learning is made. The Ebacher Rapid Reading Format is claimed to allow first-year students to read six novels or plays in the target language and eight novels during the second year. Basic guidelines for a sound reading program are stated. (RL)
