Abstract

IN VIEW of the emphasis in the ASTP on oral-aural training, specific techniques for the purpose of developing spoken foreign language habits are of prime importance. A wide variety of such techniques is being employed, and it is therefore not my intention to offer the following as altogether original or exhaustive though some of them are new, such as the Comtdie Spontanee, the unprepared dialogue, and work with pictorial materials. Others were used in some form before, such as poems and songs, plays, foreign language newspapers, sound films, etc. In the following discussion, many of the points in question can be illustrated by exercises which have been used in Russian, French, German, Italian and Spanish classes, but the points made in this discussion will be illustrated mainly in French for the sake of convenience.
