Actual conversational situations are used to teach the speaking patterns necessary to function in a given situation. Students are required to produce quick, accurate responses without help. Automatic two and three way exchanges are also used. In general, this book speeds up the exposure and provides experience in refining talking skills. Self-evaluation is used frequently. The second year program can be adapted for use with the more verbal speaker without first going through Book 1. However, it is not recommended for use with non-verbal stu- dents, or students who have many incorrect talking habits. You are encouraged to refer frequ'ently to the first year program and the teacher's manual. iv SECOND YE.o.R PROGRAM TABLE OF CONTENTS First Week Lesson Plan 565 Questions and Answers: , The Short 00 and "TH" Sounds 566 Conversation: Listening Practice, Review of The Sounds "E" And "R" Review Past and Future ofIrregular Verbs and Contractions 571 Tape 8910-0 Evaluation Tape (oral) 577 Tape 8910-W E.S.L.
