This quarterly newsletter includes a variety of articles on the teaching of English as a second language. The first article discusses the use of the enquiry method and problem solving as classroom procedures. This approach involves the development of four cognitive processes: framing questions, imposing order on data, making extrapolations, and making syntheses. The second article considers cloze testing for reading comprehension. The third article is the first part of a three-part report on the relationship of body movement to culture, language, and language teaching. The fourth article concerns teaching composition skills to students of English as a second language. This issue also includes two brief articles on the use of educational games in the classroom, a teacher's class-handout chart on the construction of the English noun phrase, two educational songs for English-as-a-second-language students on the elementary level, and several book reviews.
