Wilkens, George, Washington UniN:;ersity Preliminary Text 1966 PREFACE Ever since the Peace Corps started sending volunteers to Latin America, it has been faced with the problem of training people to speak Spanish. Because Veace Corps Volunteers would be,working ina variety of fields, such as Agriculture, Construction and Adult Literacy,a need was felt for a special kind of language text. The purpose of such a text would be to train Volunteers to communicate in Spanish ata level of proficiency that would enable them to perform their specialized tasks effectively and expeditiously. Thc nurrent text is the first attempt to achieve this goaJ. -e1,70, The text contains two Major sections. The first is a series of units to be used by all students and designed to teach basic'graiMwtical structures and vocabulary usefUl to all.These units contain such features as: 1)practiaal conversations, drills and linguisti situations designed to have students communicate from the very start; 2) highly organized pattern drills designed to teach and reinforce basic language patterns; 3) cultural notes designed to familiarize students with certain aspects of Latin American culture; 4) Frammati6.1 notes designed toanswer certain language questions that students might ask. The second section deals with units that present no new grammatical structures but that may be selected according to the technical needs of the Volunteer, and the nountry that he will be working in. Thus, there is a series of "technical" units designed to teach specialized vocabulary, along Witha eries of conversational units pertaining to the geography, culture and dialeci,pf different Latin American countries. It is hoped that this book will prove to be of significant value not only to Peace Corps Volunteers but to anyone needing the speCial kind of Spanish that this book offers.
