Audio-lingual instruction is based on dialogues and drills. Reading selections, chosen for their cultural material and interest to students, are read aloud in French. French questions on these selections are answered in French to show comprehension. More difficult grammar and long reading selections are entirely in French. In-depth discussions of French culture and history are conducted in class in French.
Emphasis is placed on the audio-lingual approach.
However, students are also taught to read and write what they can say and are given a knowledge of basic grammar and some cultural aspects of the language. High points of Latin American history and culture are emphasized. Most of the oral work done in the classroom is done in Spanish. More in-depth studies of Latin American and Spanish history and culture are emphasized. Ranch Road Twelve San Marcos, Texas 78666 tel.
