Abstract
I. Aims, purposes or objectives. As I have visited in many classrooms it has been increasingly apparent that there is no uniformity of purpose. In one room Miss Smith stresses grammar and throughout the period she questions children regarding the details of tense or position of pronouns. In the next room Miss Jones believes in extensive reading and the class is covering the material without too much attention either to the details, the construction, or accuracy of the meaning. Next door the teacher is an ardent supporter of culture. One or two days a week are devoted to reading about our Latin American neighbors in English. Part of the lesson may be devoted to a discussion in English of the customs or life of people in South America. If there were a sign on the door of the next room it would indicate that teacher number four believes in the aural approach and since she speaks the language spontaneously and correctly, the class sits quietly for most of the hour and listens to her. An occasional question elicits a si or no.
